Overview
- Florida State’s 21-11 loss at NC State featured two muffed punts, two missed field goals and four turnovers, dropping the Seminoles to 5-6 and 2-6 in ACC play.
- Mike Norvell said the Seminoles are "not even close" to expectations after another error-strewn road performance.
- Norvell’s deal runs through 2031 and would require an estimated $58.7 million buyout if he is fired after this season, equal to 85% of his remaining compensation.
- Under contract terms, the buyout can be paid as a lump sum or in equal monthly installments through the contract’s end, with the obligation declining annually.
- AD Michael Alford is conducting a comprehensive assessment of the program, while reports note that firing Norvell and hiring a new staff could push overall costs toward the $100 million range.
