""After 35 years, it's time for me to step away from coaching," Malzahn said in a statement. "I am excited to spend more time with my family and focus on the next chapter of my life. I want to thank Coach Norvell for giving me the opportunity to coach at such a prestigious program. I will continue to follow Florida State, and I believe great things are ahead for the program under Coach Norvell's leadership and for the offense under Tim Harris.""
"Malzahn began his career as a high school coach in Arkansas, winning three state titles. His high-tempo spread offenses got him into the college game, first as an offensive coordinator at Arkansas in 2006 and eventually as the offensive coordinator at Auburn from 2009 to 2011, where his offense helped Cam Newton win the Heisman Trophy and the Tigers to a 14-0 mark and the 2010 national title."
"In 13 years as a head coach, Malzahn went 105-62, with only two losing seasons. In eight years at Auburn from 2013 to 2020, Malzahn went 63-35 -- including a national championship game appearance in 2013 against Florida State and two SEC West Division titles. In his one year at Florida State, the Seminoles offense improved dramatically -- leading the ACC in total offense (472.1 yards per game) and rushing (218.7 yards per game)."
