Florida State football coach Mike Norvell goes on rant to defend 0-4 program, the Seminoles' worst start since 1974

Florida State football coach Mike Norvell passionately defended his program after an 0-4 start, saying he would not compromise the standards he is laying out for his players or his vision for the future.

The Seminoles are off to their worst start since 1974 in Year 2 under Norvell. Responding to a question about his message to recruits, Norvell spoke for more than three minutes not only about what he is looking for with incoming players, but what he has seen inside his locker room.

"I'm pissed off that we're 0-4, and we can bring up how many years it's been," Norvell said.
