Atkins, who has served as the Seminoles' offensive line coach the past two seasons and will continue in that capacity along with his coordinator duties, will see his salary rise to $850,000. He was scheduled to make $575,000 this season and next, according to an earlier extension signed in 2021. He is now under contract through the 2024 season.

Atkins will be the highest-paid assistant coach on the staff, topping defensive coordinator Adam Fuller, who makes $800,000 annually.
