Florida State University has fired head football coach Mike Norvell after more than six seasons, the school announced on November 1, 2026. The decision comes with a substantial financial commitment, as the university will owe Norvell a buyout of nearly $50 million.
Norvell, who was hired in 2019, led the Seminoles through a rebuilding period. The program's recent performance prompted the administration to make a change despite the significant buyout cost.
The move was reported by the Associated Press via NBC Sports.
