Report: FSU schedules a potential win for Mike Norvell to open 2026 season

Florida State ended the 2025 season with a humiliating loss against the rival Florida Gators, and fans head into the offseason with a bitter taste in their mouths for the second consecutive season. Most fans want Mike Norvell fired, and that’s not happening, but the program will undergo some major structural shifts, according to the FSU administration.

FSU has gone 7-17 over the past two seasons, with only four wins against Power Four teams. It looks like FSU will hope to get Mike Norvell off to a positive start in 2026 by scheduling New Mexico State for the home opener, Noles247 according to reporter Chris Nee.
