Can’t afford that to happen. That would be a horrible decision and prove to be more costly.

Damn $100m, somebody better start buying Power Ball, Mega Million tickets!!

This actually BS. Administration is just putting FSU farther behind

They will wait around until we have to get everyone else’s scraps

$100 mil mistake. Damn.

I agree I hope to god I am wrong but it is a gut feeling they will drag this out

If you are going to fire him next week, or the weeks after just do it now or in morning. Need the bye week to get things a little in order for what’s left of this year season.

UPDATE at 1:40 p.m. CT: Sources have told On3 that pressure continues to build from Florida State decision makers to make a move. A change does not appear to be coming on Sunday, but the situation is extremely fluid. The Seminoles are on the bye week before hosting Wake Forest on Nov. 1. The staff is back in the office following the loss to Stanford. There is a 7:30 a.m. team meeting on Monday morning, and the team is scheduled to move into the Dunlap Football Center on Monday night. Sources have speculated that the all-in cost to fire Norvell and his staff and make the next hire is in the $100 million range. https://www.on3.com/news/coaching-carousel-intel-billy-napier-mike-norvell-more-feeling-the-heat/

They probably have $130 million set aside for the exit fee and are debating whether or not to instead put that towards Norvell's buyout and the new staff and remain in the ACC for another year or two.

LOL! What?

So the powers that be are mulling it over! Let us not be cloudy in our thinking of Administration and current AD who took over finances at FSU and spent as if the will had designated copious amount of $$$ to spend as he saw fit ! Make sure your minds and eyes are open to see like at our rivals their AD is just as much the culprit as was the now former HC! Look around the many college campuses to the AD that create the conundrum on campuses and then seek employment elsewhere and run or sit looking like the “ Cheshire Cat” and proclaim , “so and so has to go!” Do not be hasty fellow Noles , as we need not look too far for real crux in the problem we currently have on campus from Alford himself !

Does the AD want fired? Will the media cover this appropriately???

I think the loss last night was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The administration knows this. I believe they will let Mike talk to the team tomorrow morning and break it to them. I honestly think that is the plan atm. The administration knows Mike loves his players and we want to do the right thing by both sides. It’ll allow them to talk and move on.

If they are going to do it, and all indications are they will, it makes absolutely no sense to drag this out days/weeks.

Not surprised, not a bit. It will happen but not on our timeline. We will be late to the coach race, FSU probably figuring they are unable to afford any top names so why jump in early.

Everything regarding timing and luck with Coach Norvell has been awful. Everything.

Seems like a really bad idea to have Novell lead the team out at home on 11/1. I'm guessing that could get REALLY ugly.

Why is that possible. That sounds unlikely.

They'll pay one way or the other. The fans are out on Mike. Snatch the effing bandaid off, and move forward, anything else is just spinning your wheels.
