Florida State University has dismissed head football coach Mike Norvell and defensive coordinator Tony White, according to a report from the FSView & Florida Flambeau. The school has announced an interim head coach to lead the program, though the individual's name was not immediately disclosed in the initial report.
The decision comes during the 2026 season, with the announcement made on November 1. Norvell had served as the Seminoles' head coach since 2020, compiling a record that included an ACC championship appearance. White joined the staff as defensive coordinator prior to the 2024 season.
Florida State athletics officials have not yet released a formal statement detailing the reasons for the dismissals or outlining the search process for a permanent replacement. The interim coach will assume responsibilities immediately as the team prepares for its next scheduled game.
