Mike Norvell Opens Up About Fan Frustrations and What’s Next.

Mike Norvell Opens Up About Fan Frustrations and What’s Next.

 

Florida State football has hit an all-time low in the 2024 season, with an abysmal 1-8 record. The mounting losses have become painfully familiar, as it feels like déjà vu each week for the program.

 

 

 

 

Fans, players, and coaches alike are yearning to fast forward to 2025, hoping for a fresh start. But the truth is, significant changes are necessary to turn things around. Mike Norvell made strides during his first two seasons (2020-2021), but this is now Year 5, and the lack of progress is hard to overlook.

 

 

 

 

 

While it’s understandable to expect some struggles in the early years of a coaching transition, the current state of the program after five seasons is simply unacceptable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Norvell himself addressed the mounting frustration, saying, “For our fan base, I understand the frustration. There’s no fan that’s more frustrated than I am.

 

 

 

 

His words are heartfelt, but as we know, actions speak louder than words. While there’s still some hope that Norvell can restore Florida State to its elite status, the impressive 13-1 season in 2023 may have masked underlying issues with recruiting, development, and coaching. In a way, it’s a blessing in disguise that this tough 2024 season has served as a wake-up call, as it likely wouldn’t have prompted the necessary changes if the Seminoles were sitting at a modest 7-5 or 8-4 record.

 

 

 

 

 

Right now, Florida State is one of the worst teams in college football. It’s shocking how far the program has fallen after being a playoff contender just a year ago. The frustration is palpable—fans, coaches, and players alike are all feeling it. But as tough as it is to watch, there’s still hope that brighter days lie ahead. The journey to recovery starts now, and everyone is just hoping to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
