Florida State coach Mike Norvell will return for a seventh season with the Seminoles, pledging to make needed structural changes within the program to enhance performance, the school announced Sunday. Questions that had been mounting about Norvell's job security reached a boiling point after a 21-11 loss to NC State on Friday night that dropped the Seminoles to 5-6. They need a win at Florida on Saturday to reach bowl eligibility. Over the past two years, Florida State is 7-16 (3-13 in ACC play) and winless on the road. Norvell, however, did win an ACC title in 2023 and has maintained his optimism for the future. In a statement, university president Richard McCullough said he, athletic director Michael Alford and board of trustees chairman Peter Collins were in "complete agreement that changes are needed for our program to improve." "Coach Norvell embraces our support in that process and agrees that success must be achieved. He continues to demonstrate an unwavering belief in this program's future, and so do we," McCullough said. "This decision reflects a unified commitment to competing in the rapidly evolving landscape of college football, while maintaining continuity within the program." Sources said more resources would be placed into recruiting and the roster, and changes would be made to the personnel department to allow Norvell the best chance to succeed.

Had Florida State moved on from Norvell, the school would have owed him about $54 million in buyout money. All told, Florida State would have owed about $72 million to Norvell and his staff. In six seasons with the Seminoles, Norvell is 38-33 with only two winning seasons. Despite its record this year, Florida State has made strides over 2024, when it finished 2-10 -- the worst program mark since 1974. Florida State has gone from among the worst offenses in the country -- ranking No. 132 in the nation last year -- to one of the best, ranking No. 8 this year and outgaining opponents in 10 games. - AP College Football
