Sean Lewis enters his first season as San Diego State’s new head football coach following the retirement of Brady Hoke.
In Hoke’s last season, the team went 4-8 overall and 2-6 in the Mountain West Conference standings.
During Hoke’s second tenure as head coach, he went 4-4 in 2020, 12-2 in 2021 and 7-6 in 2022. Because of their losing record in 2023, the team failed to make a bowl appearance at the end of the season.
Following the disappointing season, it seemed the team was ready for a change.
Lewis is coming from the University of Colorado, Boulder where he spent the 2023 season as the team’s offensive coordinator under head coach Deion Sanders.
