It’s hard to describe how quickly the Florida State Seminoles have fallen off in 2024. After going 13-0 and winning the ACC last season, they limped to a 2-10 finish in 2024 with lone wins coming against Cal and Charleston Southern.
As expected, head coach Mike Norvell is making major overhauls to his staff this offseason.
Florida State has already hired former UCF head coach Gus Malzahn to lead the offense.
Although the 59-year-old struggled to turn the Knights into a contender in the Big 12, he’s credited with implementing the up-tempo, read-option at Auburn, where he coached the likes of Cam Newton and Tre Mason.
As an assistant at Auburn, Malzahn coached Darren McFadden.
On defense, Norvell has hired Tony White, who is coming over from Nebraska. Under the 45-year-old, the Cornhuskers finished as a top-20 defense in back-to-back seasons.
The big question is who will be FSU’s quarterback in 2025. Freshmen signal-callers Brock Glenn and Luke Kromenhoek are expected to return in 2025, and this year’s class includes 3-star QB Kevin Sperry.
Don’t be surprised if FSU gets a quarterback from the transfer portal around whom Malzahn can build.
The coaching changes Norvell has made should get Florida State back on track. If not, expect major questions to arise surrounding his future there.
