Brennan, 50, agreed to a five-year contract with Arizona, a person with direct knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the school did not immediately release terms of the deal.

Brennan to Arizona is the latest domino to fall in college football coaching since Nick Saban announced his retirement at Alabama.

Washington’s Kalen DeBoer was hired to replace Saban on Friday, Fisch replaced DeBoer two days later and Arizona hired Brennan two days after that.

Brennan was a candidate for the Arizona job when the school hired Fisch after the 2020 season.

He spent the past seven seasons at San Jose State, leading the Spartans to three bowl games in the last four seasons, including the 2020 Arizona Bowl in Tucson. He went 34-48 at San Jose State, a program that has struggled to sustain success during its time in the Mountain West Conference.

Brennan is the first coach to lead San Jose State to three bowl games. He also had stints as an assistant coach at Oregon State and Cal Poly and was a graduate assistant at Arizona in 2000.

ALABAMA: South Alabama coach Kane Wommack is headed to the Crimson Tide to become defensive coordinator for coach Kalen DeBoer. South Alabama athletic director Joel Erdmann said Wommack told the team on Tuesday he is resigning. ... Maurice Linguist informed the University at Buffalo that he is resigning as football coach following three seasons to join the staff at Alabama, according to an AP source.

WASHINGTON: Looking out at Lake Washington and the Cascade Mountains from his new football offices, Jedd Fisch saw a place that can consistently contend for championships. The 47-year-old Fisch left Arizona to take the Washington job on Sunday, just two days after DeBoer left the Huskies. As the Huskies transition to the Big Ten, Fisch envisions a Washington program that’s perennially in the national mix.

SOUTH CAROLINA: Former Auburn starting QB Robby Ashford has committed to the Gamecocks. Ashford had started for the Tigers in 2022, but was a backup this past season for first-year coach Hugh Freeze. Ashford is expected to bolster a quarterback room where sophomore LaNorris Sellers is expected to compete to replace starter Spencer Rattler.

FLORIDA: The Gators hired veteran defensive assistant Ron Roberts to help lead the program back to prominence. Roberts was named executive head coach, co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. He reunites with Austin Armstrong, the team’s 30-year-old defensive coordinator who struggled at times last season. Armstrong considers the 56-year-old Roberts a mentor.

IOWA: Hawkeyes receivers coach Kelton Copeland was fired, defensive coordinator Phil Parker received a significant raise, and Seth Wallace was named assistant head coach. Coach Kirk Ferentz also said his search for an offensive coordinator is continuing.

OHIO STATE: Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork was hired to replace Buckeyes athletic director Gene Smith, who will retire July 1.
