FSU Football: Gus Malzahn Sets Foundation in Spring Practice
Florida State University’s football program kicked off its spring practice under the guidance of offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, who emphasized the importance of “developing a foundation” in the first week. The experienced coach is focused on instilling core principles and fundamentals that will shape the Seminoles’ offensive identity throughout the season.

Malzahn’s coaching philosophy revolves around a fast-paced, dynamic offense designed to challenge defenses with versatility and unpredictability. During the first week, Malzahn worked closely with quarterbacks and skill players to ensure smooth execution, emphasizing timing, decision-making, and fundamentals.
“We’re laying the groundwork,” Malzahn said. “This week is all about fundamentals—getting the basics right so we can build on them as we progress.”
FSU fans are eager to see how Malzahn’s influence transforms the offense, aiming for a more explosive and efficient unit. With a focus on discipline and consistency, the Seminoles hope to rise in the ACC standings this upcoming season.
