Former Miami Dolphins cornerback Patrick Surtain, who this season is a Dolphins defensive assistant coach, is set to take a job with Florida State to be their new secondary coach. Surtain will stay with the Dolphins throughout their playoff run before starting with Florida State per reports.
For Surtain, this is a great opportunity and step up in a larger role with a major college football program. One also has to wonder, though, if this is a sign the handwriting is on the wall that Josh Boyer is going to be let go after the season and the entire defensive coaching staff is going to be replaced.
Source: Florida State is set to hire Patrick Surtain as the school’s new secondary coach. He’s an 11-year NFL vet, three-time Pro Bowler and won 3 state titles at American Heritage from 2016-21 in south Florida. He spent last year as a defensive assistant with the Dolphins.
