Florida State fires Mike Norvell
- Thread starter Catfan in Tn.
- Start date
Why? Mike Norvell went to an NY6 bowl and went 13-1 3 years ago. According to folks on here, shouldn’t that be good enough? And his buyout is $50m. That’s a lot.
Good lord you psycho. Would you STFU up for one day or at least one thread. Truly pathetic.
I got some colleagues who are FSU alumni/boosters and that buyout could of been 75m . They wanted his butt gone asap . They have been embarrassing the last few years.
Surprised they didnt wait til year end.
His qb gets hurt a few years ago and the rest is history. Sadly for him.

Im a fan of mid-season firing. Why waste time? Pope get with it bud.
Here we go.
Carousel season taking off
Getting bumped out of playoffs by bama really put a cloud over that program that they haven’t been able to shake.
Cue the Nick Saban, Urban Meyer…Will Stein talk.
Our coordinators are going to get talked about as well maybe not for FSU or big gig but all the staffing turnover…our guys will be sought…

This is how stupid you are. You’re so dumb and busy posting stupid crap all the time that you think I’m a Pope fan. You’re an idiot as is anyone that likes your day in day out stupidity.
lol. I’ll type slow so you can follow along this time. If you think it’s “one” comment, you’re even dumber than I thought. It’s your all day every day stupidity.
This thread is about Mike Norvell (football) and some of you nutjobs can’t leave it alone. Truly pathetic.
I’m starting to wonder if coaches with fat buyout clauses are tanking on purpose just to cash in that lottery ticket. Apparently Norvell’s gonna walk away with a $50 million parting gift. Stoops must be jealous.
I wonder if there’s ever gonna be a breaking point where universities have been burned enough times to finally realize they need to show more caution with handing out these insanely generous contracts.

Hey id be happy for him. I doubt he has any big calls waiting. Not sure how hot his name is anymore.Mark Stoops is ready to take F$U's call.
We need to just lock our guys down. Nobody should take Stein away from us. Let’s see how good J Batt is at locking down and hiring coaches and raising funds.

Prime example of a flamethrower who is hoping Kentucky loses bad this year. Hopefully this is is a troll surely a true fan don't respond in this manner
Prime example that if Pope does what hes been doing id be a fan of firing him mid season
I really got in the wrong line of work.
Many years ago I was laid off due to the company merging with another plant location. All we received was a "sorry" and a packet about Cobra insurance.
Agreed. But, when you look at his record there, after the first 2 years it looked like they finally found the right guy. Coaching is hard. Good coaches fail and a couple of exceptional years do not mean longevity is guaranteed. When you see the coaches that string together long successful careers, or see a GOAT like Saban, it should be recognized as real achievement.
Year-by-Year Record at FSU
FSU Locked in Mike Norvell with an extension after his 10 win season.
Interesting theory. You're already a millionaire several times over and you can either 1. Grind out in the college football/NIL landscape for another 5 years, and still maybe get fired or 2. Get paid $50 mil to relax by your mansion pool for the next 5 years... and maybe go get another job on the side.
Ill tell yah, I bet these coaches arent too upset to be let go. Imagine any of our employers saying "ill pay you handsomely, to the point you could just retire all together, if you stop coming into work". Lol.
That’s true, it’s a risk but it’s one I believe in for Stein.FSU Locked in Mike Norvell with an extension after his 10 win season.
I agree. Other programs are going to force our hand here but you cant let the guy walk over money after this season.
I agree with you I think its a good gamble. In this modern nil era, there are only a handful of guys that look like they have annual team building figured out, a large part of which is being able to change their scheme to match personnel. Stein is one of those guys.
Stein really seems to be the coach you throw money at. He has so much more potential on the recruiting trail and it's paying off already. He's got all these guys buying in. That's not on accident or likely a fluke.
The only reservation I would have about paying him a $100mil contract right now, is that the school must ALSO fund the football team accordingly. You can't pay Stein top money and then turn around and give him just a modest team NIL salary to work with. They must go hand in hand.

Difference is Norvell will get another job and have a contract offset (assuming he wants another gig). It’s how Franklin went from being owed like $50mil from Penn St to $5mil. Mitch stupidly didn’t put that in Stoops contract (which was unheard of). But, not sure Stoops will get another decent paying job.
Not sure anyone is going to lock him down with a 100m dollar contract over one season as good as it has been.
Give Stein a huge incentive based contract. That needs to be the future for coaches.
rick64, you win the internet today. This is the funniest thing I have seen this week. The look on the school board members is priceless and the Brian Kelly part is pure gold. By the way, if your username reflects your name and birth year, that would make me rick63.
