Florida State Revamps Coaching Staff with Gus Malzahn and Tony White Hires

The Seminoles bring in Gus Malzahn as offensive coordinator and Tony White as defensive coordinator following a challenging 2-10 season.

Gus Malzahn, former UCF head coach, has been named Florida State's new offensive coordinator, reuniting with head coach Mike Norvell.
Tony White, previously Nebraska's defensive coordinator, has signed a three-year contract to lead Florida State's defense.
The coaching changes follow the firing of both FSU's offensive and defensive coordinators after a disappointing 2024 season, including a 52-3 loss to Notre Dame.
Malzahn brings a track record of innovative offenses, with his teams averaging 447.7 yards per game across his career, while White has led top-20 defenses in consecutive seasons at Nebraska.
Head coach Mike Norvell aims to rebuild the program and improve recruiting ahead of National Signing Day and the opening of the transfer portal.
