Report: FSU to hire Tony Tokarz as quarterback coach

Florida State Seminoles football is filling its vacant quarterback coach position by hiring internally and promoting offensive analyst Tony Tokarz, according to a report from Brandon Marcello of 247Sports.

The position was one of two left open following Kenny Dillingham’s departure for Oregon, with offensive line coach Alex Atkins being promoted to serve as the Seminoles’ offensive coordinator.

Tokarz has been employed by Mike Norvell at both of his head coaching stops, serving as a GA for two seasons at Memphis before moving up to tight ends coach. In 2020, when Norvell was unable to coach against the Miami Hurricanes due to illness, Tokarz was temporarily elevated to an on-field position with tight ends coach Chris Thomsen serving as head coach.
