Florida State interim coach Rick Stockstill said Monday he is going to give his alma mater "everything I have" to finish the season strong.
Stockstill, who takes over for Mike Norvell, played quarterback under Bobby Bowden at Florida State from 1977-81. He came back to Florida State in 2024 as director of scouting for offense after 18 seasons as Middle Tennessee head coach.
During his first comments since he was elevated to interim coach, Stockstill said he had missed coaching while he worked in the scouting department for the Seminoles. His main goal is to get the players to play with the heart and passion that he and his teammates have for the school that helped shape them.
