Seems like Hoke saw the writing on the wall.

His quote:

"I am proud of what we accomplished at San Diego State," Hoke said. "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."

The AD:

"I am very appreciative for the work Brady Hoke has done with our football program at San Diego State both on and off the field," said San Diego State athletic director John David Wicker. "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!"

As predicted by @smitty825@lemmy.world in this thread.

Also, reading it again, I find it strange the AD mentioned the player culture, given all the stories we've heard about how terrible it is...

Thanks for the hat tip. I was surprised it actually happened. That being said, the AD probably described the culture as a positive just to be nice. Brady retiring saved him a giant headache.
