Florida State assistant football coaches receive raises, extensions after 2023 season
Florida State’s entire on-field football coaching staff has received raises and contract extensions following the Seminoles’ 13-1 season in 2023. The contracts actually were signed in December, before the Seminoles’ bowl game against Georgia, and they were released to Warchant and other media outlets on Friday following public records requests.
As was previously reported, defensive coordinator Adam Fuller received an extension through February 2027, and he will be making $2 million annually for each of the next three years. He previously was set to earn $1.4 million in 2024 before getting his new deal.
Offensive coordinator Alex Atkins also saw his contract extended to February 2027, and he will now make $1.25 million in 2024, $1.3 million in 2025 and $1.4 million in 2026.
Florida State’s other eight on-field assistant coaches now have contracts running through February 2026.
