Florida State has seen plenty of changes this offseason, from roster to staff, and the latest change is an internal promotion for its on-field operations.
Head coach Mike Norvell announced Friday that pass game coordinator and wide receivers coach Tim Harris Jr. has been elevated to co-offensive coordinator.
“Tim made an immediate impact on our wide receivers last season, helping push our offense to a different level,” Norvell said. “His ability to teach and develop was showcased in the many playmakers we had among our wide receivers group, and I’m excited to see them continue to grow under his leadership. In this expanded role, our entire offense will benefit from his knowledge and teaching ability as we build on this year’s growth as an offense.”
Harris Jr. joined FSU’s staff last season, leading a coaching effort that included a 1,000-yard receiver and All-ACC first team selection in Duce Robinson — who recently announced his intentions to return to Tallahassee in 2026. Per FSU Sports Info, Robinson ranked ninth nationally after the regular season in receiving yards, and his five 120-yard games were the most among P4 receivers, second nationally and the most at FSU since 2014. Robinson averaged 19.30 yards per reception, second in the ACC behind only teammate Micahi Danzy.
From the press release:
Norvell announced pass game coordinator and wide receivers coach Tim Harris Jr. has been elevated to co-offensive coordinator.
Harris is in his second year on staff after joining as FSU’s pass game coordinator and wide receivers coach in 2025. Last season, he helped develop an offense that led the ACC in total offense, rushing offense, third-down offense and yards per completion. The Seminoles ranked in the top 15 nationally in all four categories, placing fourth with 15.21 yards per completion, sixth in total offense with an average of 472.1 yards per game, eighth with a third-down percentage of 50.9, and 12th in rushing offense after averaging 218.7 yards per game on the ground.
“Tim made an immediate impact on our wide receivers last season, helping push our offense to a different level,” Norvell said. “His ability to teach and develop was showcased in the many playmakers we had among our wide receivers group, and I’m excited to see them continue to grow under his leadership. In this expanded role, our entire offense will benefit from his knowledge and teaching ability as we build on this year’s growth as an offense.”
Harris’ group, led by first-team All-ACC selection and Biletnikoff Award semifinalist Duce Robinson, showcased remarkable playmaking ability in 2025. Robinson caught 56 passes for 1,081 yards and six touchdowns, posting the ninth-highest single-season receiving yards total in program history. Robinson also produced the 14th 1,000-yard season in program history and became only the 11th different FSU receiver to reach the 1,000-yard milestone in a season. He led the ACC in 30- and 40-yard receptions, and his average of 19.3 yards per reception ranked second in the conference, behind only teammate Micahi Danzy.
In addition to Robinson, second-year players Danzy and Lawayne McCoy showed impressive development. Danzy made 27 receptions for 571 yards and three touchdowns through the air and added 227 yards and three touchdowns on 12 rushing attempts. Danzy led the ACC and ranked fourth nationally with an average of 21.2 yards per reception, and he joined Peter Warrick as the only FSU wide receivers with three rushing and three receiving touchdowns in the same season. McCoy also made 27 catches, gaining 396 yards and scoring three touchdowns. As a group, the trio was responsible for nine individual 100-yard receiving games in 2025.
“I’m excited for this opportunity to continue to grow as a coach and help build on the positive steps we took as an offense last season,” Harris said. “I appreciate the trust Coach Norvell has shown in me, and I’m looking forward to the continued development within our wide receivers group and the offense as we push to reach FSU’s high standard for success.”
Harris earned his bachelor’s degree in liberal arts with a concentration in English and creative writing from Miami in 2008.
