<p> HAMILTON, N.Y. — Colgate football coach Dan Hunt is leaving to “address personal issues” following an unspecified "violation of university policy not involving students." </p>
<p>The school said Monday the decision was reviewed by the athletic department and had the support of the administration and board of trustees.</p>
<p>Hunt had been with the program since 1995 and had been head coach since succeeding Dick Biddle in 2014. Associate head coach Stan Dakosty, a Colgate graduate and on the football staff since 2007, will serve as interim head coach for the 2021 season. </p>
<p>“We believe the program will benefit from the continuity of his leadership and strong relationship with our athletes, alumni and staff," athletic director Nicki Moore said in a statement.</p>
<p>Hunt’s teams went 40-33 overall, 27-11 in the Patriot League, and 3-2 in Championship Subdivision playoff appearances.</p>
