Florida State University has dismissed head football coach Mike Norvell despite more than $50 million remaining on his contract, according to a report from Front Office Sports published Sunday.
The decision comes after Norvell led the Seminoles program since 2020. Financial terms of the buyout were not immediately disclosed, but the remaining contract value represents one of the largest coaching payouts in college football history.
Kennington Smith III of Front Office Sports first reported the firing on November 1, 2026. Florida State has not yet announced a timeline for naming a replacement or an interim head coach.
