Most Florida State fans are unhappy — but a real minority isn't buying the panic.
We were both better and worse than I expected. Lame.
Despite the result, I went for a walk w friends to share a fun memory. Thanks admin
4With Chauncey Kennon (CB, #41 nationally) arriving, Florida State faces extreme turnover after a 5-7 season — its top-16 class competes in a conference where rival Florida also signed a top-17 haul.

Mike Norvell, when all is said and done, will have made what, 80 million dollars off of FSU? And he’s 44?

Eating 60 million dollars is the cost of doing business. Sure it sucks to pay a coach that much not to do their job but you know that when you signed the contract.

Ashton Daniels cannot find them all game. Deuce Robinson had a 7 inch advantage on his DB and Daniels goes to him once or twice all game.

Jimbo started butting heads with the FSU admin/boosters over financial support, planting the seed that this program is just not built for the NIL era.

So, what'd I get wrong? FSU basically tore it down again. 43 players out through the portal, only about 22% of the defense back, and Castellanos (2,760 yards, led the team in passing and rushing) is out for Ashton Daniels, an Auburn transfer who threw for 797 yards last season. The run game (11th in rushing) and Duce Robinson (1,074 receiving) are real bright spots though. Reload year, or another retool?

Mike Norvell is a liar and fraud and has failed to coach at FSU. Mike Norvell should be fired on July 6, 2026. Mike Norvell has gas lit the media every year he has been here. Mike is a liar Mike is a failure. Mike is not capable of being a coach at FSU. Mike is a liar Mike is a fraud.

The only reason FSU was any good under him was Jordan Travis, period

Mike Norvell shouldn't be allowed to continue another day as head coach of my proud Seminole program. His legacy will forever be marred by this crap show that he continues to drag out on the field year after year.

Because the 2023 team was as tough as any FSU team and other than Verse, most of the players were not blue chip players on defense but boy could they hit!
We have been soft and you have to blame the coaches for not coaching toughness and/or we didn't recruit tough players even tho they may not have been 4 or 5 stars.

The Tom Herman hire makes me think FSU blames Tony White for our failures more than Mike Norvell. Why hire him to watch over Tony and not fire Mike?

I hope he proves me wrong but Ashton Daniels is not it. He's not the kind of quarterback Florida State University should have.

Every punt returned we put back there makes the wrong decision every time. But it’s a Norvell coached team so this is what you get

Mike Norvell is not a big time coach.
So much has been made of Mike Norvell as a playcaller, but if you really take a close look at how FSU's offense has looked
Quinton Flowers got Willie Taggart paid (twice) and Jordan Travis got Mike Norvell paid big time. They both should have received a cut.
Please take down the intro video of Mike Norvell doing the chop...If he is going, please replace it It just adds to everyones
Mike Norvell is 3-0 against Bama and LSU. Now UF and UGA.....
This. Mike Norvell play calling killed any chance of winning and helped leave the defense out there
Mike Norvell. They didn’t have the balls to say Mike, we gotta let you go, go on to Alabama.
Mike norvell that brought him...... Travis is the only quarterback that amounted to anything
It's called the "norvelle's done scheme".
There's some defense on a screen. Good job tech.
