The fallout from FSU not firing Mike Norvell after embarrassing Stanford loss

FSU head coach Mike Norvell looked like he knew the end of his time at FSU had come after an embarrassing 20-13 loss against a lowly Stanford Cardinals team. He spoke with the media and took full blame for the debacle, almost resigning to his fate, as his voice and demeanor screamed a defeated man .

The rumors of his impending firing were full-bore, and the expectation was that he’d get the ax on Monday morning. However, FSU Athletic Director Michael Alford surprised many by issuing a statement that they planned to stick with Mike Norvell at least until the end of the year.
