FSU Seminoles fire safeties coach Evan Cooper

The FSU Seminoles have made another change to their coaching staff, firing safeties coach Evan Cooper, according to On3's Pete Nakos. The Seminoles also fired head coach Mike Norvell on Sunday.Cooper was in his second season on FSU's coaching staff after following Tony White from the Nebraska Cornhuskers. White was also reportedly fired on Sunday as the Seminoles clean house after a 3-5 start to the season.FSU's defense has plenty of issues during the past two seasons, with the secondary having far too many busts as they struggled to communicate. They allowed 247.9 passing yards per game to start the 2026 season, with opposing quarterbacks completing 61.9% of their passes and throwing for 14 touchdowns.Their struggles were apparent in the loss to Clemson, which entered as one of the worst offenses in the country and had just two passing touchdowns on the season. Tait Reynolds threw for two in the first half alone, finishing the game completing 18 of his 32 passes for 189 yards in the best performance of his freshman season.Follow us @FSUWire on X and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Florida State news, notes, and opinions.This article originally appeared on FSU Wire: FSU Seminoles fire safeties coach Evan Cooper
