That offense eventually helped transform programs, produce one of the greatest upsets in college football history and earn recognition from John Madden’s family.We also discuss:Why he left a head-coaching position to join Coach Prime at ColoradoThe origins and evolution of the Go-Go OffenseLiving in a locker room during his junior-college journeyHow his first players helped save his life after footballBuilding winning programs with limited resourcesWhat he learned from Gus Malzahn, Mike London, Steve Sarkisian and Mark WhippleHis approach to developing young quarterbacksWhy coaches should stop chasing the next job and make their current opportunity greatBrennan’s philosophy is simple: do great work, serve the people around you and trust that your gift will eventually create opportunities you could not have predicted.Hosted By Seth Howard & Dan CaseyProduced By Sizzle Media
