Florida State Fires Mike Norvell After Clemson Loss

Mike Norvell is officially out as Florida State’s head coach following a loss to Clemson, with the school facing a $51 million buyout.

Florida State looked inept in the second half against Clemson, struggling with poor coaching, questionable decisions and poor tackling as Clemson secured a big road win.

Attention now turns to an intriguing coaching search. Jimbo Fisher, who held the job before Norvell and had Florida State competing for national championships, is lobbying for a return. The question is whether Florida State should bring back its former coach or hire a younger candidate who can navigate the current NIL and transfer portal landscape.

Florida State remains a program with deep pockets, prestige and the potential to become a powerhouse again. In-state pressure has also intensified after Miami played for the national championship last year and rose to the No. 1 ranking. Seminoles fans want their program back, and Florida State must now decide who can revive it.
