Interesting move. He's a pretty good QB, though not nearly one of the top ones in the portal. It's an upgrade from DJ anyway, which would be hard not to do.

Of note, FSU lost QB Luke Kromenhoek to the portal. He was a top 50 player coming out of high school.

Hard to believe Norvell is going into his 6th season without having recruited and developed a single QB, which is odd for a former OC and QB coach.

Maybe they can reach the 3 win mark next season!
Well, there is nowhere to go but up. They were 2-10 and downright lucky not to be 1-11.

I wonder if FSU fans and powers that be would be content with a 6 or 7 win season next year? I mean, ordinarily, that's not acceptable for a coach at FSU in Season 6, but by going 2-10 this year, perhaps he reset the bar for what shows progress in Season 6. It might actually have bought him some time. If he had a 5-7 win season this year, falling well short of expectations and a 6-7 win season next year, he'd probably be toast. But if he pops to 6-7 wins next year, he can point back to the 2-win season and say that what he's doing is working.

I hope they win 1 game next season......vs. that school upstate.
