SAN DIEGO -- San Diego State offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Jeff Hecklinski has been relieved of his duties, head coach Brady Hoke announced Sunday.
"I want to thank Jeff and his family for their commitment to San Diego State," Hoke said. "This was a difficult decision to make as I know Jeff cared deeply about this program and was instrumental to us being a 12-win team last year. We will continue to work to improve in all facets of the game and look forward to Hawai'i on Saturday."
Aztec associate head coach Jeff Horton will replace Hecklinski as the offensive coordinator.
Horton was previously the offensive coordinator at SDSU from 2015-19, helping San Diego State to a pair of Mountain West titles and coaching back-to-back 2,000-yard rushers in Donnel Pumphrey and Rashaad Penny.
The Aztecs (2-3, 0-1 MW) play host to Hawai'i at 7:30 p.m. PT Saturday at Snapdragon Stadium.
