The official release doesn't mention resigning, so not foul

Gallagher Chiefs Head Coach Colin Cooper will step down from the Investec Super Rugby club this year with his next priority to spend time with his family, the Chiefs Rugby Club and New Zealand Rugby announced today.

@pukunui

They paid him off to go away

Good business for both parties
