In what will be his final game as collegiate football head coach, Brady Hoke will be the Aztec's Honor Warrior on Saturday. The 2011 Maxwell Football Club Collegiate Coach of the Year and four-time conference coach of the year announced his retirement on Monday, Nov. 13 and will close out a tremendous career against Fresno State. Owning a 39-32 record at the helm of the Aztecs, he has had two coaching stints at SDSU totaling six seasons, ranking seventh in both wins (39) and winning percentage (.549, min. two seasons). Hoke took over a program that had not had a winning season or a bowl appearance since 1998 and in just two seasons, won the 2010 Poinsettia Bowl starting a bowl-eligible streak of 13 consecutive seasons (2010-22) which is tied for the sixth-longest streak nationally and longest among Pacific Time Zone teams.
