Statement from FSU on Norvell

Below is a statement from Florida State Vice President and Director of Athletics Michael Alford: Florida State football benefits from unmatched passionate support from the entire FSU family, and the commitment to our football program is unwavering. We rightfully have high expectations in everything we do to represent Florida State in the manner that built our reputation as one of college football's best programs, cultivating an extraordinary group of supporters nationally and globally. We embrace those expectations while also sharing the deep disappointment when results on the field are short of that standard. As we continue to move forward this season, our comprehensive assessment of the football program will be completed at season's end. Meanwhile, we are fully committed to helping Coach Norvell and the 2025 Seminoles strongly rebound in the coming weeks.

At the very minimum, fire White and let Arnett take over.

They are one in the same Arnett played under White and runs the exact same system so nothing would change.

Absolutely a joke. You see you have players mocking your head coach and think, hey, let’s keep him on until the end of the year. Great stuff.

So a player can’t enter the portal during the season unless the coach is fired and then December is a dead period. Is this a way to attempt to preserve the roster?

If the issue were just this season, I’d agree with patience. But we are 6 years in - with 4 of those being awful, 1 good, and one great. That just doesn’t cut it. He’ll need to win out to save his job.

I dont read too much into this statement. It just means they havent secured a for sure hire yet imo. In the past when leadership publicly voices approval for a poorly performing coach, said coach is gone rather quickly.
