A Facebook post at 7:55 a.m. on Feb. 5 read “Brady hoke is the new D line coach! Huge pick up for the Aztec defense.”
Art Hall, the father of redshirt freshman cornerback Darren Hall, authored a Facebook post that leaked information about a recent hire for Aztec football.
After two days of speculation, head coach Rocky Long confirmed the news in a press conference on Feb. 6.
Hoke is back.
Hoke was the head coach for the Aztecs during the 2009 and 2010 seasons and most recently the defensive line coach for the Carolina Panthers in 2018.
