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.
