FSU offensive coordinator Alex Atkins isn't allowed to be on the sidelines for the first three games of the 2024 season due to ongoing NCAA sanctions.
In a season opener that will feature plenty of unknowns for the Seminoles, head coach Mike Norvell confirmed that the team will be dealing with an unusual situation when the team kicks off against Georgia Tech in Ireland. Earlier this year, the NCAA brought down sanctions on the program for recruiting violations that occurred in the spring of 2022.
"Alex will not be available there on game day so we're going to go through a normal week of practice, obviously everything leading up but on game day he'll not be with us. We've got a plan in place, we kind of implemented the plan throughout our scrimmage opportunities here in fall camp." Norvell said on Sunday. "Alex has done a wonderful job and continues to do a great job in helping prepare our players in all things.
The Seminoles have been preparing for the coaching adjustment dating back to the spring. They've been getting ready for this trip to Ireland and the challenges it will bring for even longer. From nutrition, to sleep habits, and even equipment, Florida State has a plan that is ready to be executed.
