Going out on a limb 🤷🏻 and predicting Mike Norvell…

Still a lot of stories left to tell this season, but at this very moment I'd say Aranda and Napier both go before Norvell.

Norvell at least will get this year to fix whatever mess has been created there.

If Aranda is fired and Banks lands a head coaching job, I hope Tennessee hires Aranda to replace him. He’s an elite DC.

I don’t think they’d fire Norvell this year. Yeah they’re trash this year but they were like 13-1 last year. Live by the portal, die by the portal. FSU gotta step up their high school recruiting. Found out the hard way portal players don’t always work out

The undefeated regular season got him a contract extension and buyout that prevents FSU from firing him this year…..unless they can find some dirt

He just came off an undefeated season, and got like 10 guys drafted. The "rebuild year" card is very much in play here, especially if his team plays much better in the back half of the season.

What wins will Norvell get? There’s a real possibility he goes 3-9 with 4-8 being the ceiling.

He's getting another year IMO

“However, a buyout of Norvell would prove costly for the university. Norvell would be paid $65 million not to coach the Seminoles or 85% of his base salary and supplemental pay for the remainder of the contract, which expires on Dec. 31, 2031.”

Don’t you wish you were in Norvell’s place? I’d love to know that if I got fired, I’d receive 7-8 years or more of my current income.
Hell, I’d tank it on purpose and f’ing retire.

FSU will have to get private equity money to do it. Norvell got a huge raise from last year. Buyout is enormous. FSU is screwed with a capital F.

Talked to an FSU friend last week and he made an interesting point.

The playoff committee snub last year killed FSU's recruiting. Basically relegated FSU to an also ran program that no top recruit would want to play for.

FSU has considerably more talent than the 4 teams that beat them and the 1 team they barely defeated.

I think shelling out for firing Norvell kills any chance of them getting the money to leave the ACC.

I would love for Donald Trump (no politics) to turn their game at the end of the season into the Apprentice Bowl. Loser of the game gets "fired".

Before talking about hot seats one had to look really hard at buyouts.

Norvells is 65 mil
Napiers is just under 28

That 28 might look like a lot less but it seems like Floridas coffers are a bit tighter than a lot might think.

Ignoring buyouts for sure Norvell should already be toast and the next loss should be Napiers last. I feel like both teams will wait till after the season. If FSU waits till after DEC 31 they save about 8 mil on buyout money. The Smart move is to let him at the very least finish this year out. Pretty much anyone they want is still employed.. maybe the game on November 30 becomes the keep your job bowl? Whoever wins gets to keep their job. (#loudervol beat me to it lol)

All jokes aside looks like both coaches are doomed as their schedules are no Joke. FSU plays all decent teams except for one the rest of the season. Florida has easily the hardest schedule in the nation going forward. They play 5 ranked (top13) SEC teams and it could be 6 ranked if Kentucky beats Vandy.
