Over the course of six seasons, Hoffner has led Minnesota State to a quartet of NCAA playoff appearances (2008, 2009, 2014 & 2015) including an appearance at the NCAA National Championship game in 2014. The Mavericks also advanced to a Mineral Water Bowl game in 2011. He owns an overall record of Mavericks to a 59-16 record. Under Hoffner, the Mavericks have won three NSIC Championships (2011, 2014 & 2015) and five NSIC South Division Championships (2008, 2009, 2011, 2014 & 2015). In 2008, Hoffner transformed a team that finished 4-7 the year before into a team which finished 9-3, won the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference South Division, and qualified for the NCAA tournament for the fourth time in school history. The Mavericks finished the season ranked #23 in the nation, marking the third time in school history that the Mavericks were ranked at the conclusion of the season by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA). In 2009, Minnesota State played to a 10-2 record and was named the NSIC South Division champions. The Mavericks qualified for their second straight NCAA appearance and hosted the first playoff game in the history of Blakeslee Stadium. The Mavericks finished the year ranked #12 in the AFCA coaches poll. In 2010, the Mavericks finished 6-5, securing the 45th winning season in program history and marking the first time since 1991-94 that MSU has recorded three straight winning seasons. The 2011 season saw the Mavericks finish with a 9-3 record, including a 28-14 win postseason over Northeastern State in the Mineral Water Bowl. With its 9-3 record, MSU recorded its fourth straight winning season. The Mavericks earned a share of the NSIC Regular Season Championship and the NSIC South Division Championship.

MSU would keep things rolling with home field advantage in the NCAA Tournament as it defeated Pittsburg State (24-21 OT), Minnesota Duluth (44-17) and Concord (47-13) to advance to the NCAA Championship game against CSU-Pueblo. MSU would establish several program records during its historic season including points scored (600), rushing yards (3,625), total offense (6,704) and all-purpose yards (8,103).

In six seasons under Hoffner, 97 Mavericks have earned All-NSIC South Division honors, including 12 during the 2015 season. In 2009, Hoffner was named the NSIC Coach of the Year and the AFCA Region 5 Coach of the Year.

During his time at Minnesota State, Hoffner has seen two players earn invitations to NFL training camps in Junior Aumavae (Dallas Cowboys) and offensive lineman Adrian Battles (Minnesota Vikings). Following his release from the Vikings, Battles signed with the Green Bay Packers as a practice squad player where he eventually went on to win a Super Bowl ring in 2011. Some of Hoffner’s first recruits in the the summer of 2008 include Adam Thielen and Chris Reed, who have both continued on to the NFL. During his six years at MSU, 64 Mavericks have earned Academic All-NSIC honors and four went on to claim CoSIDA Academic All-American honors, including Josh Meeker, Justin Otto, Jeffrey Raymond and Connor Thomas.
