Former Michigan football head coach and current San Diego State Aztecs head coach Brady Hoke will be retiring from coaching college football after a 40-year career, per the official X account of the San Diego State football program.

Brady Hoke started his coaching career as a defensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Yorktown High School in Yorktown, Indiana, but it wasn't long before the former second-team All-MAC performer had returned to the college ranks. For nearly two decades, Hoke coached various defensive positions in stops at Western Michigan, Toledo, Oregon State and Michigan before finally getting his opportunity to serve as head coach at his alma mater, Ball State, starting in 2003. After a six year tenure at Ball State and two seasons at San Diego State, Hoke was hired to be the 19th head coach in Michigan Wolverines history in January 2011.

Hoke's tenure in Michigan started with a bang. The Wolverines went 11-2 behind a relentless rushing attack and a strong defense, and they capped their season with a victory in the Sugar Bowl over the Virginia Tech Hokies. From there, however, it was all down hill. In Hoke's next three seasons in Ann Arbor, the Wolverines went 20-18 and didn't win another bowl game. Hoke was promptly fired after Michigan missed out on a bowl game for only the third time since 1977.

Brady Hoke spent the next four years serving as a defensive coordinator and assistant yet again for Oregon, Tennessee and the Carolina Panthers, before landing one last head coaching job, returning to the San Diego State Aztecs, where he's gone 26-19 as their head coach with two bowl appearances in the last four seasons.

In totality, Hoke's record as a collegiate head coach currently sits at 104-91. He's won Coach of the Year honors four times: once in the MAC while at Ball State, once in the Big Ten while at Michigan, and twice in the Mountain West while leading the San Diego State Aztecs.
