So, I’ve been following this Gus Malzahn guy for a while now, right? He’s a football coach, used to be the head honcho at UCF, and just recently, he made a move.
First off, let me tell you, I started digging into his career, just to get the full picture. This dude’s been around the block. I mean, he was the head coach at Auburn from 2013 to 2020, and then he landed at UCF. At Auburn, he was also the offensive coordinator before becoming the head coach, so the guy knows his stuff when it comes to offense.
Then, I started tracking his record. The guy’s coached for 13 years, with a record of 105-62. Not too shabby, huh? And in bowl games, he’s 3-7. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, but he’s definitely had some success.
The Big Move
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. I heard rumors that Malzahn was leaving UCF. It felt like a significant shift. I found out it was true—he was stepping down as head coach at UCF to become the offensive coordinator at Florida State. I was like, “Whoa, that’s a big move!”
- I started checking out every source I could find. News articles, official announcements, you name it.
- I saw that Florida State made it official on a Monday. They announced that Gus Malzahn was their new offensive coordinator.
- Then I saw a letter from Malzahn to the UCF fans, thanking them for his time there. It was a classy move, I gotta say.
Why the Move?
I was really curious about why he made this move. I mean, going from head coach to offensive coordinator is a step-down in the hierarchy, right? So I kept digging. I found some reports that hinted at the reasons. Some said it was to focus more on play-calling, which he’s known for.
It’s a whole new chapter for him, and I saw he signed a contract that will last until February 28, 2028. Also, I found out how much he would be making per year, and man, it is a huge amount of money. But that’s not the main point, the main thing is that he will be earning $1.5 million over the first year-plus, and then it will go up to $2.0 million per year. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.
So yeah, that’s the story of Gus Malzahn’s big move from UCF to Florida State. It’s been a wild ride following this story, and I’m excited to see what he does next. What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments!
