Florida State head coach Mike Norvell chose not to renew the contract of FSU defensive backs coach Pat Surtain, and there are other coaches on the staff who probably should have been well in front of him, according to FSU fans. That coach is FSU linebackers coach John Papuchis.
Papuchis coached defensive ends his first few years at FSU before moving to linebackers this past season. The linebacker unit was underwhelming, and Papuchis isn’t the best recruiter. If Mike Norvell decided to move on from Papuchis, he already had a potential replacement on staff in analyst Zach Arnett.
