Never ever quit.

Post by Carcassdragger »

One thing that was evident during Fisch's tenure: His teams never quit.

In season one, despite being young and with a lack of talent, they just never gave up.

Never saw them give up in year two either.

In year three, that tenacity was.certainly evident in the Miss St game, against Stanford, in a big way against USC and through Colorado. In the Alamo Bowl, our guys once again just never ever threw in the towel.

I hope this tenacity is something Brennan recognizes, nurtures, and works to continue. It's a big part of our success.

I just don’t think that would EVER be a trait you see from a Brennen coached team. He is just like Tomey, super nice guy off the sideline but a cold blooded competitor on the field of play.

I expect this years team to be very physical and better disciplined. We will see on execution

I’ve been told by someone who knows more about Brennan than I.

His teams play HARD. They ball out for each other and don’t give up.

Feels like the never quit mentality started with RichRod.

“60 Minutes of Arizona Football” as evidenced by the bowl game comeback vs Nevada, the Hill Mary, and others.

Thankfully it survived Sumlin and 1-16, or maybe it was strengthened by those hard times.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Not sure about this. That Sumlin team quit twice that I know of-against Houston and another team wearing the vomit and urine colors.

I am not worried at all that this team will not give 100% every game

I think it goes back to "fought like Wildcats" in the LA Times 1914.

In all fairness to the team, Sumlin quit on the team first.
