Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported on Monday that Tom Herman will join Florida State’s coaching staff in a support role, though the university has not yet announced his exact title or duties.
  • Sources say Herman is expected to provide offensive help with game planning and quarterback work instead of serving as the named offensive coordinator.
  • The move follows offseason changes that included Gus Malzahn’s retirement and Tim Harris Jr.’s promotion to offensive coordinator, and it arrives with fall camp weeks away.
  • Herman’s résumé mixes high points and struggles: he won the Broyles Award as Ohio State’s 2014 offensive coordinator and went 22-4 at Houston, but he had uneven results at Texas and a 6-16 record at FAU that ended in his 2024 dismissal.
  • The hire is aimed at producing a quicker offensive rebound for head coach Mike Norvell’s team, which has gone 7-17 over the past two seasons, and could affect play-calling, quarterback Ashton Daniels’ development, and early-season game planning.
