News summary

Florida State University's football program is facing significant challenges after head coach Mike Norvell fired offensive coordinator Alex Atkins, defensive coordinator Adam Fuller, and wide receivers coach Ron Dugans. This decision comes amid a disappointing 1-9 season and has raised concerns regarding the retention of 13 committed recruits for the 2025 class, particularly on the offensive line. Notably, five-star recruit Solomon Thomas expressed his displeasure on social media, stating, "y'all messed up firing my coach," while other recruits like Mario Nash Jr. and Peyton Joseph confirmed their commitment despite their disappointment over Atkins' dismissal. Coach Norvell has attempted to reassure recruits, emphasizing that the vision for the program remains intact. The future of FSU's top-20 recruiting class is uncertain as Norvell navigates the fallout from these firings just weeks before the early signing period. The impact of these changes on the team's recruiting efforts will be critical as they work to avoid further decommitments.
