Coaching career

[edit | edit source]

Prior to joining the Georgia Southern Eagles' staff under head coach Chris Hatcher, Dugans spent the 2005 and 2006 seasons with Florida State as a graduate assistant, working with the wide receivers and the strength and conditioning program. In 2010, he was hired by Charlie Strong to become wide receivers coach at the University of Louisville. In 2014, after four years at Louisville and Strong's departure to The University of Texas, Dugans returned home to Florida to become wide receivers coach for the University of South Florida. In 2016, Dugans joined Mark Richt's staff at the University of Miami and was co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach. In January 2019, Dugans was released by new Hurricanes coach Manny Diaz and hired as the wide receivers coach by Willie Taggart at his alma mater, Florida State.

New head coach Mike Norvell retained Dugans on his staff. Florida State fired Dugans, along with offensive coordinator Alex Atkins and defensive coordinator Adam Fuller, on November 10, 2024, amid a disappointing 1–9 season.[5]

On September 5, 2008, a crash involving Dugans' daughter's school bus killed his daughter Ronshay, aged 8. There is now a national Don't Drive Drowsy Week (the first week of September) in memory of her death.[6]
