Multiple sources have informed Noles247 that Mississippi State linebackers coach Chris Marve will be joining the Florida State staff. Marve is expected to be coaching the same position at FSU.

According to sources, Marve interviewed, was offered and has accepted the position in recent days. It's unclear when an official announcement will be made by the school.

Marve is a Memphis native who’s spent the entirety of his playing and coaching career in the Southeast. Mississippi State's official website describes Marve as "One of the rising coaching stars in the country and a former Southeastern Conference standout, was tabbed as Mississippi State’s defensive run game coordinator and linebackers coach on March 1, 2019."

He was the linebackers coach and run-game coordinator for Mississippi State this season. Marve was Vanderbilt’s inside linebackers coach from 2016-18 and was previously a Quality Control Coach and GA at Vandy.

A standout linebacker for the Commodores, Marve was a senior captain and amassed 397 tackles in his playing career. He earned All-SEC honors in each of his four years at Vanderbilt.

On Thursday, Florida State officially announced the hiring of offensive assistant Chris Thomsen. Thomsen was previously coaching offensive line at TCU. His exact position at FSU has not yet been named.
