FSU AD appears to have just announced it on Twitter - expect a formal announcement soon.

So Lanning, Sark, and Norvell have all used Bama opening to get raises. DeBoer seems to be working on one at Washington this morning too.

Jimmy Sexton getting richer today

Norvell tweet:

quote:

[Norvell] GREAT DAY to be a FLORIDA STATE SEMINOLE!! The #CLIMBContinues grateful for to lead the #NoleFamily with our incredible staff. Appreciate @PresMcCullough @SeminoleAlford and @Seminoles for continued commitment on our journey back to the TOP! The Future is bright in Tallahassee

I know a 2 time National Championship winning coach in Clemson, South Carolina that would be a great fit in Tuscaloosa.

Daboo shows no interest in signing an extension. Clempson shown no interest in offering an extension.

Who knows if Alabama actually considered offering him the job. If they did and he turned it down, that's a bit of a risky move IMO. FSU is a good program. No question about that. But the college football landscape is clearly moving to a two conference world...and FSU isn't in one of those conferences. The Big 10 and SEC have all of the negotiating leverage and, it seems, will continue to get more and more lucrative media deals. As such, the ACC will get left behind. That's why FSU wants out, NOW!

Did Norvell get some assurances that FSU will soon find a place in the SEC or Big 10? Or maybe he just leveraged the Bama opening for a bigger contract from FSU when Bama had no intention of ever offering the job to him.

If DeBoer stays at Washington or goes to the Seahawks things are going to get very interesting.

IMO part of the problem Bama is running into is I doubt any credible head coach wants to take the job knowing Saban will still be in the facility in an office right down the hall. Would you want Nick looking over your shoulder while you’re trying to run your program?

Wow, I personally thought he would be the best possible hire Bama could make. Glad it didn't happen.

Alabama heavily pursued Mike Norvell. FSU not only agreed to a new deal but committed to a substantial increase in resources such as recruiting budgets, etc. The school is in the midst of $450M upgrade to the stadium & a FB-only operations center. All eyes now on Kalen DeBoer.
