Florida State University fires athletics director Michael Alford, according to multiple reports. The change follows the university’s review process, though the articles do not provide detailed reasons for the dismissal.
Florida State president Dr. Richard McCullough appoints Bruce Warwick to serve as interim athletics director. The university says it is conducting a national search to find Alford’s permanent replacement.
Across outlets, the core information is consistent: Alford is dismissed, Warwick is named interim, and a broader search will determine who leads Florida State’s athletics department next. The reporting centers on the personnel transition and the interim appointment, with limited additional specifics about the underlying circumstances leading to the decision.
