It has been all downhill for Mike Norvell and Florida State since they were left out of the College Football Playoff in 2023. The Seminoles had various opt-outs for the bowl matchup against Georgia and suffered a 60-point beatdown at the hands of the Bulldogs.
Florida State never really recovered from it.
Coming off a 13-win 2023, the 'Noles plummeted to the cellar in 2024, going 2-10 and only beating one team from the FBS level. They suffered blowout loss after blowout loss, and fans called for Norvell's head despite his being rewarded with a robust contract extension before the season.
