Brady Hoke enters the third season of his second stint as head coach of the San Diego State football program after succeeding Rocky Long, who stepped down following a nine-year tenure on The Mesa from 2011 to 2019. The 63-year-old Hoke, who has a national coach of the year award on his extensive résumé, guided the Aztecs to a 12-2 record and a No. 25 national ranking in the final Associated Press poll of a historic 2021 campaign, capped by a 38-24 victory over No. 24 UTSA in the Tropical Smoothie Frisco Bowl. SDSU also found itself among the College Football Playoff Rankings for the first time in program history, cracking the top 25 on all six occasions last season. For his efforts, Hoke garnered Mountain West Coach of the Year accolades for the second time in his career..
