The Seminoles announced that they hired Jeff Culhane to replace the legendary Gene Deckerhoff on Monday.

After more than 40 years of calling Florida State football and basketball games, Gene Deckerhoff, a Jacksonville native, retires.

Gene Deckerhoff, the “Voice of the Seminoles” for 43 years, has announced he’s stepping away from the microphone.

One day before legendary coach Bobby Bowden was scheduled to lie in honor at the state capitol, Seminole fans gathered in Jacksonville to prepare for the upcoming season and remember the late head coach.
