FSU Football: Pat Surtain Sr. Tabbed as the Noles new DB Coach!
The Nole's and Norvell knock another 2023 season move out of the ball park. This news on the heels of a commitment from yet another top DE end recruit earlier today.
Update* I have learned ESPN’s Pete Thamel initially broke the story.
As far as we can tell Matt Fortuna had initially broke the news of the Nole’s intentions to hire Pat Surtain Sr. as it’s new defensive backs coach before being reported by several major outlets and sources. Coach Surtain played eleven seasons in the NFL at DB after being drafted out of Southern Mississippi. Following his playing career he began his coaching career at the high school level in 2013.
Surtain wasted no time being promoted from an asssistant at American Heritage to the Head Coach from 2016-2021 winning an absurd three state titles in five years. He was hired in 2022 by the Miami Dolphins as a part of Mike McDaniels highly coveted coaching staff.
This hire marks all the boxes we talked about right here on the Renegade Report as he is young, with strong ties to Florida High-Schools, and South Eastern recruiting in general. He has done everything these young men aspire to do and figures to be an absolute monster on the recruiting trail.
Hopefully nothing changes and we have ourselve’s another amazing up and coming young coach added to the Mike Norvell coaching tree and his NFL style roster management operation in Tallahassee Florida. He is expected to join the stsff following the Dolphins playoff run!
