- Mike Norvell enters 2026 on the hot seat after back-to-back losing seasons (2-10 in 2024, 5-7 in 2025) despite the 13-0 2023 run—he’s 38-34 overall and 22-26 in the ACC at FSU.
- Norvell has an 8-year extension worth about $84M through 2031 (restructured to shift $4.5M to revenue-sharing); a buyout would be roughly $51M if FSU fires him during/before 2026 (about $45.6M after), paid in monthly installments.
- FSU opened 2026 with a win over New Mexico State; the SMU game was delayed nearly two hours by a power outage—big upcoming tests include at Alabama (Sept. 19) and the rivalry finale vs. Florida (Nov. 27).
