He lost his seat, what else was he supposed to do?
I'd agree with what you're saying if he had won his own seat and still left office to take a teaching job. As it stands, he doesn't have a job in politics to continue in. A leader without a seat in the House is pretty useless and it was pretty obvious he wasn't going to be the man to lead the Liberals into the next election in 4 and a half years.
