While Norvell turned things around after a rocky start—leading to a 10-win season in 2022 and a playoff-worthy 2023 campaign—recent years have seen a steep decline, including a 5-win 2025 season and shaky conference play. With a bye week ahead before a tough Alabama matchup, the Seminoles need a bounce-back, but replacing Norvell won’t be cheap—or easy.
