Gus Malzahn, the offensive coordinator at Florida State University (FSU), has shared his thoughts on the team’s quarterback situation and the challenges of turning around the program after a disappointing previous season [1].
Malzahn, who joined FSU’s coaching staff in December, emphasized the importance of quarterback play in determining the team’s success. He highlighted the need for a quarterback who can make plays with their legs and arm, as well as demonstrate leadership skills [1].
Regarding the current quarterback competition, Malzahn praised the progress of Tate Rodemaker and AJ Duffy, stating that both players have made significant strides during spring practice [1]. However, he also acknowledged that the team is still searching for a clear starter.
Malzahn’s assessment of the quarterback situation is a key aspect of his overall strategy to revamp the FSU offense. After a dismal 5-7 record last season, the Seminoles are looking to bounce back, and Malzahn’s expertise as a play-caller and quarterback developer will be crucial in achieving this goal [1].
In addition to quarterback play, Malzahn emphasized the need for improved pass protection and a more balanced offense. He believes that by addressing these areas, the Seminoles can become a more formidable opponent in the ACC [1].
Malzahn’s experience as a head coach at Auburn and his success as an offensive coordinator make him an ideal candidate to lead the Seminoles’ turnaround. His honest assessment of the team’s challenges and his clear vision for improvement have generated optimism among FSU fans [1].
