Overview
- Malzahn, 60, announced he is stepping away to spend more time with family after one season as Florida State’s offensive coordinator.
- Head coach Mike Norvell elevated co-offensive coordinator and receivers coach Tim Harris Jr. to offensive coordinator to preserve continuity.
- Under Malzahn in 2025, Florida State led the ACC in total offense (472.1 yards per game) and rushing (218.7), with nine 400-yard games and back-to-back 700-yard outings.
- The timing surprised many in college football because most staffs were already settled and the transfer portal window had largely closed.
- Malzahn’s career highlights include a 105-62 head-coaching record at Arkansas State, Auburn and UCF, Auburn’s 2013 SEC title and BCS title-game appearance, and the 2010 national championship as Auburn’s offensive coordinator.
