Additionally, Brennan worked as a graduate assistant for Dick Tomey at Arizona in 2000 and Rick Neuheisel at Washington in 1999.

Brennan worked under Rich Ellerson as the wide receivers coach at Cal Poly from 2001 to 2004. In 2004, Brennan also took on the role of recruiting coordinator.

In 2004, Cal Poly made the transition from independence to the Great West Football Conference, where it won the conference title in its first season.

Reunited with Tomey, Brennan joined San Jose State as an assistant coach in 2005 and would serve as a coach in various roles for six seasons, including the first season under Mike MacIntyre and the entirety of Tomey’s stay.

Brennan was also a recruiting coordinator. In 2005 and 2006, he worked as a wide receivers coach for San Jose State, coaching future NFL draft selections James Jones and John Broussard and leading the team to its first bowl victory since 1990 in the 2006 New Mexico Bowl.

In 2007 and 2008, Brennan taught tight ends in addition to his role as recruitment coordinator. Brennan coached offensive tackles and tight ends in addition to serving as special teams coordinator and co-offensive coordinator in 2009. Brennan solely coached wide receivers until 2010 when MacIntyre took over as head coach.

Brennan was Oregon State’s wide receiver coach from 2011 to 2016, spending his last season coaching outside receivers.

Brennan coached a number of standout receivers at Oregon State, including Markus Wheaton and All-American Brandin Cooks, the latter of whom was the 2013 recipient of the Fred Biletnikoff Award.

On December 7, 2016, Brennan was appointed head coach of San Jose State. With a combined record of 3–22 in his first two seasons, he tied the 2010 squad for the fewest wins in school history with his 1–11 season in 2018.

The 2018 squad lost five games by fewer than nine points, with three of those games decided by field goals, despite their dismal record.

The Spartans started 2019 with a 2–1 record, their first triumph over an SEC opponent coming in a win over Arkansas.

Along with defeating rival Fresno State, San Jose State also triumphed over Army, making history as the 20th program to defeat all three FBS US service academies (Army, Air Force, and Navy).

The COVID-19 epidemic prompted the 2020 Spartans to reschedule their final two home games and cancel two more. The team also had to undertake pre-season sessions at Humboldt State University owing to Santa Clara County regulations. Despite these setbacks, the team finished the regular season with a 6–0 record.

Due to their perfect record, San Jose State was able to advance to the Mountain West Conference Football Championship Game, where they emerged victorious 34–20 over Boise State. This was the Spartans’ first conference title since 1990 and their first 7–0 record since 1939.

For his team’s accomplishments, which included ranking in the AP Poll for the first time since 2012 and making their College Football Playoff rankings debut, Brennan was named the Mountain West Coach of the Year. He also finished fifth in the Associated Press College Football Coach of the Year Award voting with three first-place votes.

On December 23rd, he signed a contract extension. With a 34–48 overall record, three bowl appearances, and one conference title game appearance, he concluded his time at San Jose State. Brennan was appointed as the 31st head coach of the University of Arizona on January 16, 2024.
