TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Mickey Andrews, Florida State's defensive coordinator since 1984, will retire at the end of the season.
Andrews, 68, was scheduled to meet with reporters later Tuesday. His decision was announced in a statement released through the university.
"For 47 years it's been about me," Andrews said. "Now it's time to be about us -- my family."
Andrews has been regarded as the architect of the Seminoles' defense for the last quarter-century. Coach Bobby Bowden credits Andrews' work for producing a pair of national championships for the Seminoles.
"He's been here 26 years and we've had such success and you just have to credit him with the success we've had since he came," Bowden said in the statement. "He's done such a great job. We'll miss him and his wife and family."
