Long-time college football coach Gus Malzahn is calling it a career. After 35 years in coaching, Malzahn announced his retirement from football Monday.
Malzahn, who served as Florida State's offensive coordinator last season, said he was looking forward to spending more time with his family.
To replace the 60-year-old Malzahn, Florida State promoted co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Tim Harris Jr. into the full-time offensive coordinator position.
Malzahn leaves behind quite the legacy and resume as a coach. He started out in high school, when he was named the offensive coordinator at Hughes High School in Arkansas in 1991. He eventually took over as the head coach, and was successful at multiple high schools from 1992 to 2005.
After an excellent run at the high-school level, Malzahn jumped to college sports for the 2006 season, when he served as Arkansas' offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach. He then moved to Tulsa and Auburn in various coordinator roles.
Malzahn finally got his first head-coaching job ahead of the 2012 season, when he led Arkansas State to a 9-3 record. His stay at the school was short. Malzahn left after just one season and returned to Auburn, this time as the team's head coach.
Malzahn went 68-35 in eight seasons at Auburn. He struggled in bowl games, however, going 2-5 in seven appearances.
After being fired by Auburn, Malzahn coached at the University of Central Florida for four seasons, going 28-24. He resigned from that position in 2024 to join Florida State as its offensive coordinator.
This story will be updated.
