The Seminoles are now 3 – 4 on the season. Rumors have been swirling about head coach Mike Norvell’s fate after Saturday’s loss to Stanford. After winning the first three games of the season, FSU has dropped the last four.

Now, FSU leadership has put to rest any question about whether Norvell still has a job.

Statement from Florida State Vice President and Director of Athletics Michael Alford:

Florida State football benefits from unmatched passionate support from the entire FSU family, and the commitment to our football program is unwavering.

We rightfully have high expectations in everything we do to represent Florida State in the manner that built our reputation as one of college football’s best programs, cultivating an extraordinary group of supporters nationally and globally. We embrace those expectations while also sharing the deep disappointment when results on the field are short of that standard.

As we continue to move forward this season, our comprehensive assessment of the football program will be completed at season’s end. Meanwhile, we are fully committed to helping Coach Norvell and the 2025 Seminoles strongly rebound in the coming weeks.
