New Leadership Steps Up
Rick Stockstill takes over as interim coach after Mike Norvell's departure following a 3-5 start. A former player under Bobby Bowden from 1977 to 1981, Stockstill returned to the program in 2024 as director of scouting for offense after 18 seasons leading Middle Tennessee. He has pledged to give the Seminoles everything he has for the remainder of the season.
Program Status and Goals
Stockstill described the program as having some dents that need fixing but insisted it is not broken. He believes Florida State is close to success again and stressed the need for everyone to pull in the same direction. His priority is instilling the heart and passion that defined his own time as a player, ensuring current athletes understand what they represent on the field.
Four Games Remain
With four regular-season games left, starting at Boston College, Stockstill aims to honor the program's history and the sacrifices made by past players and leadership.
