Norvell emphasized the tough decisions that were made but acknowledged the unwavering support he has from the administration, highlighting their commitment to moving the program forward. He reiterated that while the team has fallen short of expectations this season, the goal remains to get things right and deliver results that honor the trust and investment from fans, boosters, and stakeholders.
He also pointed to the ongoing facility improvements, including the renovation of Doak Campbell Stadium and the construction of the Football Only Facility, as signs of the long-term vision and commitment to the program’s success. With his leadership and the continued backing of the athletic department, Norvell is determined to restore Florida State to its competitive peak.
