Hours before Florida State's final game of the 2024 season, reports began to break that UCF head coach Gus Malzahn was resigning to become the program's next offensive coordinator. In the aftermath of the news, social media quickly turned into a frenzy as college football fans around the country shared their reactions.

Florida State has officially announced the hire of Gus Malzahn as its next offensive coordinator. Within the announcement, both Malzahn and Seminoles head coach Mike Norvell released their first statements since the news broke over the weekend.

Malzahn, whose team finished a 4-8 season with a 28-14 home loss Friday night to Utah, is stepping down to become the new offensive coordinator at FSU. ESPN first reported the move late Saturday afternoon, and UCF announced it via social media shortly thereafter.
