The college football coaching carousel is officially spinning. 

San Diego State head football coach Brady Hoke is expected to retire at the end of the 2023 season. ESPN and FootballScoop first reported the story and SDSU confirmed the report a few hours later. 

"I am proud of what we accomplished at San Diego State," Hoke said in a statement released by the university.. "I am grateful to all the great student-athletes I've had the chance to work with, molding them into men, husbands, fathers and pillars in the community. I will always cherish my time leading this program. I'd also like to thank the wonderful staff I've worked with and wish them the best in the future."

SDSU Athletic Director John David Wicker also added some parting compliments for the coach in the statement.

"I am very appreciative for the work has done with our football program at San Diego State both on and off the field," Wicker said. "Brady set the standard in 2009 when he first arrived on The Mesa that we now hold ourselves too. However, it's more than wins and losses. Brady created a culture, led our program thru COVID, played two entire seasons in Carson, including a 12-win campaign, and takes seriously the development of young men off the field as well as on. I wish Kelly, Laura and Brady a happy retirement!"

In six total seasons over two stints with the Aztecs, Hoke took the Aztecs to the postseason three times. 

The Aztecs are 3-7 to start the season with two games remaining. Hoke will remain in his role for those two games.
