UCF head coach Gus Malzahn is resigning and will become the new offensive coordinator at Florida State, sources confirmed to Sports Illustrated's Bryan Fischer. The news was first reported by ESPN's Pete Thamel.
Malzahn, who concluded his fourth season as the UCF head coach on Friday night with a 28–14 loss to the Utah Utes, went 28–24 in four seasons with the Knights. This season was his worst showing as UCF's head coach, as the program finished with a 4–8 record. Malzahn and the Knights lost eight of their final nine games, and he would have entered the 2025 season on the hot seat.
