TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Florida State offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn announced his retirement from coaching Monday.<\/p>\n
The 60-year-old Malzahn spent last season with the Seminoles after serving as head coach at UCF (2021-24), Auburn (2013-2020) and Arkansas State (2012). He won the 2010 national championship as an offensive coordinator at Auburn.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter 35 years, it\u2019s time for me to step away from coaching,\u201d Malzahn said in a statement. \u201cI am excited to spend more time with my family and focus on the next chapter of my life.”<\/p>\n
Coach Mike Norvell promoted co-offensive coordinator and receivers coach Tim Harris Jr. to be the Seminoles\u2019 offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n
Florida State led the Atlantic Coast Conference in total offense and rushing offense in 2025. Florida State had nine 400-yard outputs in 2025, including back-to-back games with more than 700 yards for the first time in school history.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to thank Coach Malzahn for his effort and dedication to our program over the last 14 months,\u201d Norvell said. \u201cHe did a wonderful job coordinating our offense and calling plays in 2025, and he has set a strong foundation for us to continue building on in 2026 behind the coordination of Tim Harris and the multiple other assistant coaches who are returning.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TALLAHASSEE, Fla.
