Man did they dodge a bullet when they tried to hire him a few years ago

Norvell talking to the Bama AD Saturday after turning him down 3 years ago

Everyone wants to laugh at us for hiring DeBoer but we actually killed that hire considering we could have ended up with either Norvell or Dabo.

Does Mike Norvell get fired to me is the biggest question of the week...what allows him to keep his job other than a victory on Saturday?

Norvell never turned down the job, he was a finalist though.

After Alabama, FSU plays:

Central Arkansas
Virginia
@ Louisville
@Miami
-BYE-

After this stretch, FSU is most likely 2-5

There's not even a good coordinator to take over. Tony Whites 3-3-5 scheme has been pretty awful

FSU is Chernobyl right now...time to burn everything down and start over

Alabama never offered Norvell, that was BS circulated by Norvell to endear himself with FSU Fans.

His buyout.

quote:

If Florida State University terminates football coach Mike Norvell without cause during or before the end of the 2026 season, his contract buyout is approximately $51 million. If FSU waits to fire him until after the conclusion of the 2026 season, the figure drops to roughly $45.6 million.
