He was officially dismissed on Sunday, as head coach <b>Mike Norvell<\/b>\u00a0announced he is moving on from Dugans, who was on the staff under the previous regime when Norvell arrived at FSU in 2020. Dugans has been at FSU since 2019.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I appreciate the work these three men have provided over the last five years with me at Florida State,&#8221; Norvell said in the release announcing the dismissal of Dugans, as well as offensive coordinator <b>Alex Atkins<\/b> and defensive coordinator <b>Adam Fuller<\/b>. &#8220;They are all great men with families who also have poured into our program. We had many great moments together here, and I have never doubted their passion for our players and for Florida State. Unfortunately, we have not upheld the Florida State standard with our results on the field this season. I did not make any of these decisions lightly, but I felt changes needed to be made to elevate our program back to where we all desire it to be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dugans had another season remaining on his contract. Our understanding of Dugans&#8217; contract is that he will be owed roughly $625,000 that can be paid out in installments equal to bi-weekly or monthly payments over the course of the remainder of his contract (through February of 2026).<\/p>\n<p>FSU&#8217;s receiver play has been sporadic during the course of Dugans&#8217; tenure. Bright moments include the development of <b>Ontaria Wilson<\/b> and transfer Johnny Wilson (6th round NFL Draft pick).<\/p>\n<p>But inconsistent production (FSU&#8217;s receivers rank 91st nationally since 2019 with a Drop Rate of 6 percent) and results on the recruiting trail made him relatively easy to justify moving on from.<\/p>\n<p>Dugans, 47, played at FSU from 1995-99 and won a national title with the Seminoles. The Tallahassee native had 105 receptions for 1,520 yards and seven touchdowns in his college career, and went on to be a third-round selection by the <b>Cincinnati Bengals<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear at this time who will assume Dugans&#8217; role with the wide receivers for the remaining two games of the 2024 season.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>This article originates on Noles247.<\/p>\n<p>247Sports Logo<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FSU has moved on from WR coach Ron Dugans<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2246,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cincinnati-bengals"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
