Florida State will retain head coach Mike Norvell for the 2026 season, the program announced Sunday.
“Coach Norvell embraces our support in that process and agrees that success must be achieved,” Athletic director Michael Alford said in a statement. “He continues to demonstrate an unwavering belief in this program’s future, and so do we. This decision reflects a unified commitment to competing in the rapidly evolving landscape of college football, while maintaining continuity within the program.”
Alford said in late October that the school would reassess Norvell’s status at the end of the season. Florida State has struggled since a season-opening victory over Alabama, posting a 4-6 record over its last 10 games with only two victories inside the ACC.
