TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – In a press release on Sunday night, Florida State football has announced the dismissals of three members of the coaching staff.

Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line Coach Alex Atkins, Defensive Coordinator Adam Fuller and Wide Receivers Coach Ron Dugans have each been relieved of their duties.

In a statement, head coach Mike Norvell said, “I appreciate the work these three men have provided over the last five years with me at Florida State.”

He continued, “Unfortunately, we have not upheld the Florida State standard with our results on the field this season. I did not make any of these decisions lightly, but I felt changes needed to be made to elevate our program back to where we all desire it to be.”

The moves come fewer than 24 hours after the Seminoles 52-3 loss against Notre Dame on Saturday night and as the team enters its bye week.

Dugans had been with the Seminoles the longest, joining the coaching staff in 2019. Fuller‘s first season with FSU coincided with Norvell’s in 2020. Atkins was in his third season with the team.
