Brent Brennan’s selection as head football coach at San Jose State has deep UA ties. After serving on the UA staff in 2000, Brennan followed UA defensive coordinatorΒ Rich EllersonΒ to Cal Poly, where Ellerson was the new head coach. Brennan served four years under Ellerson, then became part of Tomey’s San Jose State coaching staff for fiveΒ seasons. It’s not likely Brennan will hire his younger brother, ex-UA receiverΒ Brad BrennanΒ at SJSU; Brad, was on the Oregon State staff with Brent in 2014, but has since worked for a software firm in San Francisco.Β
