Former Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn has found a new home at Florida State University, where he now serves as the offensive coordinator. While his connection to FSU primarily stems from his long-standing coaching relationship with head coach Mike Norvell, dating back to their days at Tulsa, Malzahn also has a personal tie to the university. A photo of Seminoles wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin making a game-winning catch in the 2013 national championship game against Malzahn’s Auburn team hangs near his office at the Moore Athletic Center, serving as a constant reminder of the past.
The visual reminder of that pivotal moment in college football history is something that Malzahn encounters daily, as he walks by the picture on his way to work. The image captures Benjamin going up for a pass over the middle from quarterback Jameis Winston, sealing the national title for FSU in a dramatic fashion. Despite the bittersweet memory for Malzahn, he embraces the opportunity to contribute to the FSU program and help build a successful future for the Seminoles.
With his wealth of coaching experience and offensive expertise, Malzahn is poised to make a significant impact on the FSU football program. His strategic prowess and innovative approach to the game could be just what the Seminoles need to elevate their performance and compete at the highest level. As Malzahn settles into his new role at FSU, fans and supporters eagerly anticipate the positive changes he will bring to the team as they strive for greatness in the seasons ahead.
