Florida State University has dismissed safeties coach Evan Cooper, according to a report from SB Nation on November 1, 2026. The move comes after Cooper served on the Seminoles' defensive staff, with a photograph from March 13, 2026 showing him working with players during spring football practice at the Albert J. Dunlap Athletic Training Facility in Tallahassee.
The program has not yet announced a replacement for the position. Cooper's departure marks a change to the defensive coaching structure under head coach Mike Norvell as the Seminoles prepare for the upcoming season.
