Former UCF coach Gus Malzahn joins Florida State as offensive coordinator, aiming to revamp their struggling offense.

Gus Malzahn, a former head coach at UCF, has become Florida State's offensive coordinator, citing changes in a college head coach's role, such as dealing with the transfer portal and agents. Malzahn, known as an "old-school football coach," left a $15 million UCF deal for a three-year, $1.5 million contract with Florida State. He will work to improve an offense that ranked 131st in points per game in 2024, using a fast-paced, run-heavy strategy. His move was also influenced by his familiarity with head coach Mike Norvell and respect for the university.
