Florida State's Leonard Hamilton Resigns Amid Lawsuit Claims

Na'Shon Goddard has resigned from his position as offensive line coach at South Carolina State to join the University of West Georgia, reuniting with head coach Joel Taylor, a former S.C. State assistant. Goddard has had a successful coaching career, including a MEAC title with the Bulldogs and a prior stint at Newberry College that saw significant achievements. Meanwhile, Florida State Seminoles head coach Leonard Hamilton announced he would resign at the end of the current season, concluding a 23-year tenure that saw him become the winningest coach in the school's history. Hamilton's resignation is overshadowed by a lawsuit from former players claiming unpaid NIL money. In response to the coaching changes, Florida State has revamped its staff, hiring new coordinators and bringing in Jonathan Rutledge as a special teams analyst. The Seminoles' basketball program now faces the challenge of finding a successor to Hamilton as they look to maintain competitive momentum.
