The Seminoles started with an opening victory over Alabama, but it crumbled under the pressure of the large expectations. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5r\">Fans criticized the administration for electing to bring back head coach <a href=\"https:\/\/chopchat.com\/florida-state-football-s-biggest-issue-is-not-head-coach-mike-norvell\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Mike Norvell <\/a>for the 2026 season, especially after the road loss to Stanford. The fact that the Seminoles have not won a game away from Doak Campbell Stadium since November 2023 is concerning.  <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5u\">There is a good reason not to believe in what Coach Norvell is preaching right now, since the Seminoles have won a combined seven games in two years. The media is consistently criticizing the program, which is becoming tiresome. <\/p>\n<p>Florida State head coach Mike Norvell is low on more national college football lists <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"60\">CBS Sports dropped its rankings for Power Four coaches, and Mike Norvell is all the way down at No. 42. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">2026 Power Four Coach Rankings \ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n<p>Who do you think should be higher? <\/p>\n<p>1-25 \ud83d\udd17 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kIPhcTADyw\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/kIPhcTADyw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>26-68 \ud83d\udd17 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TAK4W5uOmF\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/TAK4W5uOmF<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/svMQ9LZGFy\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/svMQ9LZGFy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CBS Sports College Football \ud83c\udfc8 (@CBSSportsCFB) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CBSSportsCFB\/status\/2059632609391473010?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">May 27, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"66\">Mike Norvell went down in the rankings from last year, as he was at No. 25. The program just finished with a 2-10 record in 2024, which was one of the worst seasons in program history, but maybe some individuals thought that it was a fluke. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"69\">The opening victory over Alabama had people thinking that the program would be back to its old form. However, losing seven of the last nine put a bad taste in their mouths. It made fans wonder if the administration knew what they were doing. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6c\">To make it worse, rival coaches Mario Cristobal (No. 7), Dabo Swinney (No. 11), and Jon Sumrall (No. 36) are all ranked higher than Mike Norvell. That is a terrible look for the program. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6f\">With that said, Florida State doesn&#8217;t have to sit in a puddle of despair and have another losing season in 2026. It can put its head down and go to work and ensure that its losing ways never happen again. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow chopchat.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=chopchat.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\">Follow<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Florida State football did not have the year that it wanted in 2025, as it finished with a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":287187,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":["post-287186","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\/287186","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=287186"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287186\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/287187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
