Hutson, 52, said the decision was mutual and that he will transition into a different role at the school.
"I want to express gratitude to everybody I've been around during these six years," Hutson said. "It was a lot of fun."
The Bulldogs went 12-21 this season for their second straight 20-loss campaign. They were 92-94 during Hutson's tenure. Fresno State twice won 23 games under Huston.
The ninth-seeded Bulldogs gave top-seeded Utah State a scare in Thursday's game before wilting in the extra session.
