Consistently inconsistent would be the best way to describe the FSU football program under Mike Norvell<\/a>. In week one, they had everyone believing they were one of the best teams in college football, and a few weeks later, they looked like a completely different team against Virginia.<\/p>\n

Either the defense could never get stops, or the offense couldn\u2019t score two touchdowns, or special teams would look like a mess. <\/p>\n

Mike Norvell’s football teams seem to struggle to get on the same page and play together as a cohesive unit. It\u2019s one of the main reasons they lose, and why FSU fans wanted him fired after the loss to Stanford, and definitely after the loss to NC State. \u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so far gone that fans have lost faith that he\u2019ll turn it around due to the inconsistencies. Check out some of the responses on social media after the news broke that FSU would retain him for 2026: <\/p>\n

Mike norvell win a natty next year I still want his ass gone shit ain\u2019t consistent enough for my liking<\/p>\n

Mike would win the natty then turn around and lose to western Kentucky in week 2 by 10 https:\/\/t.co\/4URLHVEg7x<\/a><\/p>\n

Genuinely don\u2019t care if we go undefeated next year I can\u2019t deal with him a day longer.<\/p>\n

Now, \u201cKodagreat\u201d was probably using SOME hyperbole with that statement, but it gets to one of the root issues with FSU. We have no idea which FSU will show up. Most folks thought NC State would score at will and that FSU would score 30+ points on NC State. The FSU defense played well for the most part, and the FSU offense no-showed. The defense played decently against Clemson, and the offense disappeared.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the year, the defense couldn\u2019t get stops against Pittsburgh or Virginia. Special teams have been hit or miss all season. It\u2019s not a talent issue, either. That\u2019s the maddening thing, the players are usually in a position to make plays, but don\u2019t when it matters, and all of that falls on the coaching staff and Mike Norvell. <\/p>\n

IF FSU starts the season well next season, the fan base will be waiting to see when it\u2019ll fall apart again, just like this season, because they don\u2019t trust Mike Norvell. <\/p>\n
