FSU offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn announced his retirement after 35 years as a coach.
In a social media post, Malzahn says, “After 35 years (15 high school, 20 college), I am grateful for the incredible journey God has allowed me to take. It’s time for me to stop coaching.”
Malzahn’s collegiate head coaching career began in 2012 at Arkansas State following his success as offensive coordinator at Auburn. He led the Red Wolves to a 9-3 season before returning to Auburn as head coach of the Tigers. In his first season, Malzahn led the Tigers to the BCS National Championship, where they lost to Florida State 34-31. In 2021, Malzahn was fired after eight seasons with Auburn, despite not having a losing season. Months later, UCF hired Malzahn to be the new head coach after Josh Heupel left for Tennessee. In 2024, after four seasons with the Knights, Malzahn left the position to become offensive coordinator at Florida State.Advertisement
In his 13-year career as a head coach, Malzahn had a record of 105-62 with only two losing seasons.
Tim Harris has been named the Seminoles’ offensive coordinator.
