Less that 24 hours after Dabo Swinney went to bat for Mike Norvell, Florida State fired the embattled head coach.
Clemson’s longtime head coach expressed his displeasure with a banner that was flying overhead at Doak Campbell Stadium on Saturday that read in part, “FSU Fire Novell….” Whether or not the misspelling was intentional, no one knows. Either way, Swinney was not happy.
On the field, Swinney’s Tigers would go out and defeat the Seminoles, and the next day, FSU dismissed Norvell. The Seminoles dropped to 3-5 with the loss.
“Disappointed for him and his family,” Swinney said Tuesday during his weekly press conference.
