- Florida State promoted co-offensive coordinator and receivers coach Tim Harris Jr. to run the offense in 2026.
- Under Malzahn in 2025, the Seminoles led the ACC in total offense (472.1 yards per game) and rushing (218.7), with nine 400-yard games and back-to-back 700-yard outings.
- His résumé includes a 105–62 record as a head coach at Arkansas State, Auburn and UCF, plus Auburn’s 2010 national championship as offensive coordinator.
