The FSU administration has paid well over 20 million for four wins over Power Four schools the past two seasons with Mike Norvell as its head coach. Apparently, that’s good enough for Mike Norvell to avoid getting fired and return for the 2026 season.
FSU administration released a statement on Sunday afternoon that has FSU fans distraught:

Translation
FSU didn't think it was financially responsible to spend the money to fire Mike Norvell and spend addtional money to hire a new coaching staff.
