Florida State football coaches get raises, extensions after 10-win season
Head coach Mike Norvell wasn’t the only Florida State football staffer rewarded following the Seminoles’ 10-3 season and No. 10 national ranking in 2022.
Offensive coordinator Alex Atkins and each of the Seminoles’ other assistant coaches received raises and/or extensions, according to documents released Tuesday to Warchant and other media outlets who requested them via public records requests.
The highlights are the raises and extensions for Atkins and defensive coordinator Adam Fuller.
Atkins will now be making $1.15 million in 2023, $1.25 million in 2024 and $1.3 million in 2025. He originally was slated to make $850,000 as part of his most recent contract.
Fuller’s contract will go through the 2024 season, and he will make $1.2 million this season and $1.3 million in 2024.
