NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 18 (UPI) -- Bob Toledo, who has coached Tulane football since December 2006, resigned Tuesday as the Green Wave's football coach.
Tulane has lost its last four games and is 2-5 on the season. Toledo had a 15-40 record at the school.
Co-offensive coordinator Mark Hutson was selected to be the interim head coach for the final six games of the season.
"We are very appreciative of the job Bob and his staff did both on and off the field during their 4 1/2 seasons," Tulane Athletic Director Rick Dickson said in a statement.
"A transition like this is always difficult and we are very grateful that Bob and his assistants will ensure that the program can continue to move forward without interruption for the next six games."
Toledo issued a statement thanking Dickson for the opportunity to coach at Tulane and his coaching staff and players for their hard work.
"We worked extremely hard and I feel like we did our best," he said.
Toledo, 65, previously was the head coach at California-Riverside, Pacific and UCLA. He also was the offensive coordinator at several programs over a coaching career that began in 1969.
He had back-to-back 10-2 seasons at UCLA, taking the Bruins to the Rose Bowl after the 1998 season. Toledo was 93-108 in 18 seasons as a head coach.
