Florida State has hired Tony White to be its defensive coordinator after he developed consecutive top-20 defenses at Nebraska
Florida State hired Tony White to be its defensive coordinator Monday, poaching him from Nebraska after the Cornhuskers posted top-20 defenses in consecutive years, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because neither the Seminoles nor the Huskers have confirmed White's move, which is pending a state background check.
reported that White is signing a three-year contract. White replaces Adam Fuller, who was fired last month following a 52-3 loss at Notre Dame. FSU coach Mike Norvell is moving quickly to fill staff vacancies in hopes of salvaging a recruiting class that has crumpled in recent weeks. National Signing Day is Wednesday, with the transfer portal opening next week. Norvell formally announced former Arkansas State, Auburn and Central Florida coach Gus Malzahn as his next offensive coordinator.
