The Big 12 football media days are happening now in Frisco, Texas. All 16 coaches are there, taking turns at the podium and in smaller sessions with the Big 12 media crowd.
It’s a big chance for coaches to answer tough questions—some are feeling the pressure, while others are dreaming about the College Football Playoff. There’s plenty to talk about, but Arizona’s coach Brennan is especially interesting this year.
Brennan’s time at Arizona has been, well, unpredictable. He’s had a season that fell flat and another that surprised almost everyone.
So, which version is the real deal? Or is the truth just somewhere in between? Tucson’s hopes are quietly pretty high—maybe higher than people admit.
But what does Brennan really think about keeping that success going? And, honestly, how’s he going to rebuild that secondary?

This annual gathering in Frisco is more than just a press junket. It’s where coaches lay out their vision, tackle big questions, and try to set the mood for the season.
All 16 coaches are there, taking questions, sharing updates, and maybe dropping a few hints about what’s ahead. There’s a lot of curiosity swirling—about players, about strategies, about whether anyone’s got a real shot at the Playoff.
Arizona’s Coach Brennan: A Tale of Two Seasons
Brennan’s run at Arizona? Definitely a mixed bag. One year, things looked bleak; the next, suddenly, they were turning heads.
It makes you wonder: which season is the fluke, and which is the blueprint? People in Tucson seem quietly optimistic, and you can’t really blame them.
Brennan’s got a big task ahead with that secondary, though. Fixing the defense could make or break their season, and everyone’s watching to see how he handles it.
Coaches on the Hot Seat
Not every coach is feeling relaxed right now. Some are under real scrutiny, and these media days are their chance to face the music.
For a few, it’s about changing the story and maybe cooling things down before the games actually start.
Addressing Team Concerns
They’ll get asked about everything—players, decisions, you name it. It’s not always comfortable, but it’s a chance to explain their plans and maybe win back some trust.
Eyeing the College Football Playoff
Others are in a totally different spot. They’re talking up their teams, setting the bar high, and trying to get everyone fired up for a big run.
Media days give them a platform to show off a little, build hype, and maybe even put some pressure on their rivals.
Setting High Expectations
For the coaches with Playoff dreams, it’s about confidence—maybe even swagger. They need to back up their talk, but for now, it’s all about setting the stage and getting fans to believe.
Conclusion
The Big 12 football media days matter a lot to coaches, players, and fans. It’s not just another event—it’s where team concerns get aired out and expectations take shape.
There’s always a bit of tension in the air. People are eager to see how the season might unfold, but nobody really knows yet.
