Is Norvell going to make it at Florida State?

Firing a second coach after only 2 seasons would be a bad look for them. I think everybody realizes now it isn't going to be a quick fix.

At least they've put up a fight since the 0-4 start.

Aren’t they still paying Willie Taggart?

Might just be my personal biases since Memphis is my second favorite college team and FSU my third, but I think Norvell is a good coach and could turn things around there. They played Notre Dame tough in week one and both sides of the ball have looked pretty good at times, they just need to put things together. The Jacksonville State obviously inexcusable, but the team has improved after a rough start. They also have the #1 player committed for next year (along with another 5-star), so keeping this class together is a priority—though Hunter will probably be at FSU no matter what. With the early signing period, it’s even more destabilizing to fire a coach than it used to be and they’ve been through 3 coaches since 2018. I think Norvell sticks around for at least another year and wouldn’t be surprised to see things start to turn around a bit next year.

He's going to get time. They knew it would be a long term rebuild when they fired Taggert

Norvell needs time. He is turning things around, and has a solid recruiting class coming in.
