Florida State has finished filling its coordinator vacancies as Nebraska's Tony White signed a three-year contract to oversee the Seminoles' defense, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel on Monday.
White spent the past two seasons at Nebraska, which ranks 20th nationally in points allowed this season after finishing 13th in 2023. He replaces Adam Fuller, who was fired last month.
White, who came up under defensive guru Rocky Long, has previously held coordinator posts at Syracuse, Arizona State and San Diego State. He played college football at UCLA.
Florida State is 88th in points allowed and 87th in yards allowed, following a 2-10 season under coach Mike Norvell.
The Seminoles on Monday also officially announced the hiring of Gus Malzahn as offensive coordinator. He replaces Alex Atkins, who was fired last month.
Malzahn, who served as UCF's head coach the past two seasons and was Auburn's coach from 2013 to 2020, worked with Norvell on the Tulsa coaching staff in 2008 and 2009.
"He has one of the most innovative minds in college football and a proven track record of developing elite offenses everywhere he's been," Norvell said in a statement. "His offenses have consistently showcased a tremendous running game combined with explosive plays through the air. I'm thrilled to work side-by-side with Gus again as we elevate the Florida State offense back to one of the elite groups in college football."
