  Mike Norvell could have lost the locker room at Florida State. And the new FSU football coach hasn't even coached a game at the school. Norvell, who was hired as the Seminoles coach from Memphis at the end of last season, is in hot water with his players after a statement he made to reporter Tashan Reed of The Athletic about the death of George Floyd. "We've had a lot of open communication with our team, our players and our coaches," Norvell said, according to Reed. "I went back and forth individually with every player this weekend. And that was something that was important to me because this is a heartbreaking time in our country…. I told these guys just how grateful I am to be a part of this journey with them because they are the future. We've got an incredible group of men that I get a chance to work with as players and coaches. I'm honored to have the opportunity to help make a difference."

Several Florida State players took issue with Norvell's claims on social media, the most vocal of which was defensive tackle Marvin Wilson, a leader on the team. Wilson tweeted that Norvell's statement "is a lie" and that the players would "not be working out until further notice." "Man this did not happen mane," Wilson's tweet said. "We got a generated text that was sent to everybody. There was no one on one talk between us and coach. This is a lie and me and my teammates as a whole are outraged and we will not be working out until further notice." - Arizona Republic
