Florida State has its new defensive coordinator - Arizona's Mark Stoops.
A university official familiar with the agreement told The Associated Press on Saturday that Stoops has agreed to join new Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher in early January after both schools' bowl games.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because neither Stoops or Fisher has signed yet.
Stoops is Arizona's defensive coordinator. He is the younger brother of Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops and Arizona coach Mike Stoops.
Mark Stoops inherits a defense ranked 110th nationally in 2009. He succeeds longtime defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews, who is retiring.
Fisher is replacing Bobby Bowden, who is retiring after 34 years at Florida State.
