Gus Malzahn might've been FSU football's best offseason acquisition.
There was much made of Malzahn leaving UCF to accept the job as offensive coordinator at FSU. Why would he leave a head coaching job at a Power 4 school for a "demotion"? How would the Mike Norvell-Gus Malzahn dynamic work? And more than anything, would FSU's offense get better?
And so far, the results have been extremely positive to the point that it's safe to say Malzahn's presence in the program has revitalized Seminole football.
Give Mike Norvell a ton of credit

Your job as the head coach is to figure it out
He went out and got Gus Malzahn
Brought in Tommy Castellanos
