Florida State Fires Key Coaches After Dismal Season

Following a crushing defeat to Notre Dame, FSU head coach Mike Norvell dismisses three assistants amid a 1-9 record.

Florida State's head coach Mike Norvell has fired offensive coordinator Alex Atkins, defensive coordinator Adam Fuller, and wide receivers coach Ron Dugans.
The decision follows a 52-3 loss to Notre Dame, marking FSU's sixth consecutive defeat and contributing to a historically poor season.
The Seminoles are struggling with the worst scoring offense and near-bottom scoring defense in the ACC, reflecting a drastic fall from last year's 13-1 record.
Despite the team's current 1-9 standing, there is significant interest in the vacant coaching roles, including from NFL coaches.
FSU faces financial challenges due to buyouts for the dismissed coaches and Norvell's $63 million contract buyout, complicating potential future staff changes.
