Head coach Mike Norvell and the Florida State Seminoles are in the midst of another disappointing season. Last year, they went 2-10 after being a preseason favorite to win the ACC. This year, they appeared poised to bounce back, securing three straight wins to start the year, including handing No. 6-ranked Alabama its only loss of the year thus far. However, the team has since lost four in a row.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, the Seminoles\u2019 latest loss was 20-13 to Stanford. It confirmed that while there were hopes of a bounce-back season for the Seminoles, they will not be in the ACC championship picture again. Additionally, while Mike Norvell led the Seminoles to a strong season as recently as 2023, he is on the hot seat.<\/p>\n
According to a report<\/a> from On3 insider Pete Nakos, Florida State is holding informal phone calls about Norvell\u2019s future.<\/p>\n \u201cNEW: Florida State decision makers are holding informal phone calls this morning to discuss the future under Mike Norvell, sources tell Pete Nakos. Norvell\u2019s buyout is north of $54.4M. FSU is 1-11 in ACC play during the last two seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n If Mike Norvell is fired, he will not be the first coach with a high buyout to be let go by his team this season. Former Penn State head coach James Franklin was fired last week, and according to ESPN<\/a>, he is owed more than $49 million.<\/p>\n Mike Norvell\u2019s Buyout Would be Among the Biggest in College Football History<\/p>\n If Mike Norvell is fired by Florida State, his reported $54.4 million buyout would be one of the biggest in college football history. According to ESPN, James Franklin\u2019s $49 million buyout was the second largest in history, only behind Jimbo Fisher\u2019s $76 million buyout from Texas A&M. If Norvell is fired, his reported buyout would pass Franklin for the second biggest buyout in history.<\/p>\n However, it is not confirmed that Norvell will be fired yet. While Florida State has struggled the past two seasons, he took over a struggling team in 2020 and turned it into a double-digit win team by 2022. So, the team might give him more leeway than other coaches.<\/p>\n Read More:<\/p>\n \u201cJimmy Sexton Fleeced Florida State\u201d: Josh Pate Brings Up Mike Norvell\u2019s Alabama Rumors As Reason Behind Massive $58,700,000 Contract\u00a0Buyout<\/a><\/p>\n Mike Norvell Salary, Contract, Net Worth, and More<\/a><\/p>\n James Franklin Reveals AD\u2019s Untimely Message Announcing Penn\u00a0State\u00a0Firing<\/a><\/p>\n College Sports Network has you covered with the latest news, analysis, insights, and trending stories in football<\/a>, basketball<\/a>, and more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Head coach Mike Norvell and the Florida State Seminoles are in the midst of another disappointing season.
