Gus Malzahn is resigning as Central Florida’s head coach to become Florida State ’s offensive coordinator, a person familiar with the hire told The Associated Press on Saturday.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Seminoles have not confirmed Malzahn’s move, which is pending a state background check. ESPN first reported the decision. The Knights made official that Malzahn is leaving in a statement released a day after UCF (4–8) concluded its season with a 28–14 loss to Utah.
