FSU Football: Fans react to Mickey Andrews return to staff

FSU football announced one of the coolest moves in the Willie Taggart era Friday afternoon with legendary defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews returning to the staff.

His official title will be “Special Assistant to the Head Coach” which is a vague description but still pays great respect to the man behind some of the greatest defenses in college football history.

Andrews was FSU’s defensive coordinator under Bobby Bowden from 1984-2009 and retired after Bowden’s final game in 2009.

He was the inaugural Broyles Award winner in 1996 which is given to the best assistant coach in college football.
