**Florida State Seminoles Fire Head Coach Mike Norvell Amidst Struggles**
TALLAHASSEE, FL — Florida State University has announced the dismissal of head football coach Mike Norvell after a disappointing season that failed to meet the expectations set for the program. Norvell, who was hired in December 2019, struggled to return the Seminoles to their former glory, leaving fans and administration frustrated with the team’s performance.
Under Norvell’s leadership, the Seminoles faced a series of challenges, including inconsistent play and difficulties in recruiting top talent. This season saw the team with a lackluster record, which ultimately contributed to the decision to part ways. The administration cited a need for a fresh direction to revitalize the program and foster a winning culture.
Athletic Director Michael Alford expressed gratitude for Norvell’s efforts but emphasized the importance of competitive success in college football. “We appreciate Mike’s dedication and hard work, but we believe it is time for a new chapter for Florida State football,” Alford said.
As the search for a new head coach begins, the university aims to attract a candidate who can reinvigorate the program and connect with the passionate fan base. The Seminoles have a storied history, and there is hope that the next leader can restore the team to its rightful place among college football’s elite.
In the interim, the coaching staff will continue to prepare the team for the remaining games of the season while the administration conducts its search. The future of Florida State football remains uncertain, but fans are hopeful for a turnaround in the coming years.
