I’m thinking something like this...

You might see this as disaster. I see fifth dimensional thinking and long term planning. Coach Norvell knows that schemes alone will not win a national championship. No. What matters is talent, experience and skill combined with the future facing schemes that we already bring to the table.

What Coach Norvell has done is to treat this season and the next as extended scrimmages. Wins are irrelevant. What matters is gametime experience. And skill building. To the point of talent, we have to keep in mind that the more losses that we take on the short term, the higher our draft choice selection will be. Furthermore we can give the appearance of a talent disparity and lure portal recruits to join.

You say 0-6, and technically this is true. But I say that in four or five years that same number of games will yield a 6-0 start, as we are building the foundation of something truly extraordinary. Be patient.

Oh my God... he's done it. He's entered the mind of a Seminole. Careful man, it's like Inception. Stay in too long, you may never come back to the real world.

How many levels deep in the Nole subconscious do you need to go to get to that degree of psychosis? Actually, strike that, they don't have more than one level, second level is just a blue screen.

I’ve been inside the IPF. You’re crazy if u think it’s anything but a top facility. It’s not like the made it 70 yards because they ran out of money or space. Considering there’s a 40 yard field off to the side it clearly was by design.

I’ve been at our IPF, as well, and it’s beautiful. Willing to bet it’s nicer than FSU’s or Florida’s.

They’ll have the money after this season to replace him. Unless he wins 9/10 games, he’s as good as gone. Hopefully he fails miserably and leaves them with terrible numbers and no one worth keeping.

Then why extend him, last month?

Yes a one year extension. Welcome to college football

I wasn’t trying to be a smart *** but if they are preparing to possibly terminate him, even a one year extension seems a little weird, especially with the new AD.

well they did run out of space because they didn't want to run it further into greentree, but they adapted it to be something more useful than a straight up 100 yard field. ended up being a net benefit.

The one year extension is a pretty common way to "show support for" a coach you intend to fire, with the intent of helping recruiting. Common in collegiate athletics at least.

It’s a vote of confidence. It also puts them in a position of strength for one year, if he does win or right the ship. Lastly, we don’t know the language behind the extension. It most probably has no bearing on his buyout amount.

if it somehow did affect his buyout in favor of the university, then norvell needs a new agent yesterday. dude is corny as ****, but i don't think he's that dumb.
 
I learned that you can extend a contract without extending the buyout. I doubt the extension added an extra year’s salary to the buyout. Even FSU’s athletic director isn’t that dumb. It’s purely a “vote of confidence” so recruits don’t think they’re signing with a lame duck coach. Won’t matter come mid season when they’re 2-4 because everyone will know Norvellll is done.

That makes sense.

They usually give an extra year for the struggling coach, and there’s no additional money added to the buyout. No on wants to give a vote of confidence and have it cost them extra. It’s the staffs opportunity to maximize recruiting. Fwiw It has little to do with “an extra year for the staff”.

And it rarely helps in recruiting as kids and their parents aren’t stupid and there are countless examples that it doesn’t stop the school from firing the coach.

Plus other schools will still negatively recruit. It’s a mismanagement of money that I’m sure Blake James would’ve done if he had the green light.
