Football sidelines are chaotic spaces -- head coach, offensive/defensive coordinators (in the booth), position coaches, players -- all in real-time, pressure-filled back-and-forth conversations in the headsets during the game.
Medical personnel rule, as they should. Had the medical declaration been conveyed up the coaching chain of command? At the very least, the player's helmet should have been taken away, preventing him from re-entering the game.
Not placing blame because I don't know what happened. Ultimately, it's on Hoke, but a lot of things could have taken place.

Have you seen the video?
It's entirely possible that Hoke didn't see what happened, but I would be really surprised if that was the case. The QB was hit HARD, he was shaken up, he was wobbling while he walked, and he had to lean on a teammate while heading toward the sideline. How does a head coach miss that?
If I saw that and I was Hoke, I wouldn't care what anyone else thought, I'd try to take the QB off the field and out of the game.
