Florida State has made the decision to keep Mike Norvell as head coach going into the 2026 season. Since releasing a statement which promised a "comprehensive assessment' at the end of the year, the Seminoles have gone 2-2, with both of those losses coming by double-digits on the road.

Florida State's football program has struggled since filing a lawsuit against the ACC two years ago. Now, Seminoles are stuck with Mike Norvell.

The Seminoles would have been playing catchup in a hiring market where they’d pitch a position that, at best, would be about the fourth-best job available.
