Florida State University has dismissed head football coach Mike Norvell and defensive coordinator Tony White, according to reports. The move raises questions about Norvell's buyout terms following the Seminoles' loss to the Florida Gators on November 29, 2025, at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville.

Norvell, who led the program since 2020, faced mounting pressure after a disappointing season. The university has not yet announced a successor or disclosed financial details of the separation.
