It’s already been a busy Thursday for Florida State<\/a> as they figure out their coaching staff for 2026 and beyond. After it was announced that Blue Adams<\/a> will be the program’s next cornerbacks coach, FSU will promote Austin Tucker to be their next quarterbacks coach per Matt LaSerre of Warchant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tucker will takeover for Tony Tokarz who left the program<\/a> to be the new offensive coordinator at Buffalo last week. He’s been with head coach Mike Norvell during his entire tenure with Florida State. For five seasons, Tucker was a senior analyst before being promoted to assistant wide receivers coach in 2025.<\/p>\n

Before he came to Tallahassee, Tucker was a wide receivers coach at North Alabama. Tucker also spent time on the coaching staff at Memphis where he worked with Norvell back in 2017.<\/p>\n

Tucker has familiarity with Seminoles’ offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn as well. He was a graduate assistant at Auburn when Malzahn was the head coach there.<\/p>\n

Quarterback development is something that needs improvement at FSU. Now, we’ll see if Tucker can aid in that aspect.<\/p>\n
