The Florida State Seminoles football team faced turmoil after their head coach Mike Norvell was fired following a poor start to the 2024 season. Norvell had led the Seminoles to a successful 2023 campaign with a 13-0 record and an ACC title, but the team’s downward spiral started after they were snubbed from the College Football Playoff due to a key injury to quarterback Jordan Travis. The 2024 season saw FSU suffer losses to Georgia Tech and Boston College, leaving the program in disarray.
Despite high expectations after an undefeated 2023, the Seminoles struggled in all areas in 2024. Quarterback issues were a focal point, with errant throws, poor protection, and dropped passes plaguing their performance. The team’s rushing game also faltered, contributing to their inability to sustain offensive drives. Defensively, they were unable to stop the run, further compounding their problems. Norvell’s tenure had initially brought hope of returning Florida State to national prominence, but the inability to recover from setbacks ultimately sealed his fate.
Norvell’s departure signals a major shakeup for Florida State. As the program seeks to rebuild, they’ll look for a new head coach to restore the team’s competitive edge. Despite Norvell’s firing, the team still faces numerous challenges in turning around a season that has begun in disappointment. Florida State’s next steps will be crucial in regaining the confidence of the fanbase and steering the program back toward success.
