FSU FOOTBALL<\/p>\n
Florida State lost to the Stanford Cardinal by a score of 20-13 on Saturday night, when some of you were probably asleep, given that it was a 10:30 PM EST kickoff. Honestly, I don’t blame you for not watching the game because it was three hours of misery. <\/p>\n
The standard of this proud football program is in jeopardy, as Mike Norvell is now 1-11 in his last 12 ACC games. The Seminoles want to leave the conference for the SEC or Big Ten, and that is a bad look when trying to do so.<\/p>\n
It is safe to say that Coach Norvell’s era at Florida State is over. There is no way that you lose to this Stanford squad with a backup quarterback, backup running back, third-string left guard, and multiple starting cornerbacks who were out via injuries. <\/p>\n
NORVELL OUT AT FLORIDA STATE?<\/p>\n
Let me start by saying that this is a situation where I never want to call for someone’s job. However, Florida State is now 5-15 in its last 20 games, and I cannot tell a difference between the Garnet and Gold and Purdue (sorry, Boilermakers) in terms of production. <\/p>\n
Athletics Director Michael Alford likely has to pull the plug and let the head football coach go. Even with the massive buyout, this seems like a situation where it is much more costly to keep him around, as the big-time boosters, fans, players, and even recruits no longer trust him. <\/p>\n
Sundays are usually designated for coaches being on the chopping block. This has become a situation where Alford makes the decision. The only aspect that I wonder is if Florida State allowed head football coach Mike Norvell to fly back home to Tallahassee after the loss. <\/p>\n
This is a situation where I absolutely bleed Garnet and Gold, and never want to be pessimistic. This comes from a loving heart that wants what’s best for the Seminoles. However, this current state of Florida State football is unacceptable. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FSU FOOTBALL Florida State lost to the Stanford Cardinal by a score of 20-13 on Saturday night, when…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12173,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":["post-12172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12172","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12172"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12172\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12173"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12172"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12172"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12172"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
