FSU fans react to Seminoles firing Mike Norvell

The FSU Seminoles have fired head coach Mike Norvell, announcing the news Sunday afternoon following their 36-24 loss to the Clemson Tigers in Doak Campbell Stadium.While FSU won the ACC under Norvell in 2023, the Seminoles have struggled ever since, and many fans have been calling for Norvell to be fired for quite some time. The loss dropped them to 3-5 on the season, and FSU finally made the move during his seventh season in Tallahassee."We have made the decision to change the leadership of our football program," Florida State University President Richard McCullough said. "We thank Mike Norvell for his commitment and service to Florida State and wish him and his family the very best. We understand the deep passion of Seminole fans and share their high expectations for this program. We are confident in Rick Stockstill's ability to provide steady leadership during this transition. We will conduct a thorough national search for the program's next leader, someone who embraces Florida State's tradition of championship athletics and our standard of excellence."Here is a look at how FSU fans reacted to the news.FSU has fired Mike NorvellFlorida State University President Richard McCullough informed head football coach Mike Norvell this afternoon that FSU is making a change in the leadership of its football program, effective immediately.FSU Athletics Hall of Fame member Rick Stockstill has been named interim… pic.twitter.com/6gmgSYKMGl— FSU Football (@FSUFootball) November 1, 2026Good things are happening in TallahasseeMood pic.twitter.com/4Rvp8gJDcg— dustin.

I wanted it to work for Mike Norvell. He poured his entire heart and soul into the program. But for whatever reason it just didn't translate into consistently winning.
