Think it’s going to be very hard to get rid of him this year, especially if he has some modicum of success. The reality is that his buyout + staff buyout + $$$ needed to hire a new HC and staff = cost prohibitive. I think they’ll have to wait till the end of the 26’ season to shi*can him. Talking a 2 year rebuild with decent portal additions at minimum. Also need a huge infusion of cash.I hope FSU wins just enough to extend Norvell another couple of years. It seems they cannot fiscally afford to fire him for several years, barring a donor with deep pockets coming out of the woodwork. And who would want that job? Yes they have their own history but that job is worse than the Miami job a decade ago. At its worst Miami has location, location, location.
Who would choose to live in Trailerhasee? Even with a multi-million dollar annual salary?
As for who they’d bring in, TBD. I could see them going all in on Lance Leipold from KU or Cignetti from Indiana. FSU is still a very strong brand. BUT the NIL landscape has changed the game and they don’t seem to have the $$$ to compete right now.
