Leading Florida State is interim head coach Rick Stockstill. Stockstill, a Florida State Athletics Hall of Fame quarterback, was elevated to the head role on Sunday.

Other changes to the coaching staff include the elevation of linebackers coach Ernie Sims to interim defensive coordinator. Offensive coordinator Tim Harris Jr. will now be the playcaller and Greg Moss will lead the safeties.

Daniels rushed for two touchdowns, threw two touchdowns and ran for a two-point conversion at No. 10 Alabama, one of two players in FBS in 2026 with multiple rushing and passing touchdowns and a two-point conversion. He is one of just three players since 1995 to have those numbers in a road game against a Power 4 opponent.
