Florida State University has dismissed head football coach Mike Norvell after more than six seasons at the helm, according to an Associated Press report distributed by NBC Sports on November 1, 2026. The decision comes with a substantial financial commitment, as the school will take on a buyout valued at nearly $50 million.
Norvell had led the Seminoles program since December 2019. The move signals a major shift for the Atlantic Coast Conference program as it searches for its next head coach.
