Mike Norvell is prepared for a losing season
Florida State football coach Mike Norvell (1-6, 1-5) is in a tough situation.
After returning from the bye week, FSU suffered its sixth loss to Duke on Friday night, and Norvell is on the cusp of his third losing season in his five-year tenure.
The Seminoles another road race on Saturday. They will take on their in-state rival, the undefeated Miami Hurricanes, at 7 p.m Hard Rock Stadium.
It's about the drive to try to get better, and I can't let these guys get caught up in the record right now,” Norvell said after the Duke loss.
“Right now the record is what it is, but it's still about where we go and what we do with the opportunities in front of us.
Since the fanbase knows the fate of the season, here are the overreactions.
Mike Norvell stares at the face of a historic losing season
It's the first time since 1975 that the Seminoles have started 1-6. During that pre-Bobby Bowden year, FSU finished 3-8. The year before, FSU was 1-11.
With five games remaining, the Seminoles' season could be one of the worst in program history.
The matches have yet to be played. The Seminoles are one loss away from bowl elimination.
It would be the first time since 2021 that FSU will not play in any postseason games. A year after we were a playoff contender, finished 13-1 and won the ACC Championship last year, it feels so long ago.
FSU's notable remaining schedule includes Miami, Notre Dame and Florida. This season, the teams are 17-4 combined.

It's time for Mike Norvell to focus on rebuilding his program
Now that Norvell is already insured for the next eight years, he can start all over again.
That means Norvell has to clean house.
With the season likely to be a losing one, Norvell will have to make sudden changes to the schedule. What kind of changes? It could be anything.
Norvell is a competitor. He also knows that hiring a transfer portal player could be a mistake if he doesn't find the right players to compete. This year's class was a total failure at every position.
While recruiting players in the offseason may still be a priority, so can recruiting top high school players.
Either way, it will be a tough sell because of the season the Seminoles have had, but it could also lead to an opportunity for them to compete for immediate playing time.
Between now and the offseason, Norvell needs to evaluate his coaching staff. They have all been with Norvell since he was hired and have contributed to his successes and failures.
Some Norvell assistants deserve to stay and be elevated to higher positions, and others need to explain why they should continue their duties.
Offensively, FSU ranks 132nd with an average of 276 yards and 15.0 points per average. The Seminoles also rank 131st, averaging 72.9 per game.
FSU's defense has been inconsistent and hasn't lived up to the hype for the most part, but it has kept the Seminoles in games.
The defense has allowed an average of 370.0 yards this season, which ranks 75th nationally and 76th in rushing yards allowed.

Mike Norvell should use the rest of the season to identify his future quarterback
How the season evolves into a losing one is a chance for Norvell to figure out who he wants to be his starting quarterback next year.
The season should be viewed as an evaluation for Brock Glenn and Luke Kromenhoek on a week-by-week basis.
Obviously, he'll probably keep that to himself as he gets through the rest of the season. Ultimately, though, he'll have to make tough decisions, and his quarterbacks are one of them.
Glenn is the more experienced of the two. He has eight games and five starts under his belt from last season. In his two-year career, he has 567 passing yards, two touchdowns and five interceptions.
Kromenhoek made his first-ever appearance against Duke after Glenn gave up three straight turnovers and finished the night by completing 3 of 17 for 19 yards.
The true freshman has shown some flashes of deep ball accuracy, but his receivers' dropped balls overshadowed him.
Kromenhoek was a four-star prospect out of Savannah, Georgia, where he was ranked 30th in the country and fourth at his position. FSU also has two high school quarterbacks who have verbally committed to the 2025 and 2026 classes.
There's still time to find out with five games to go, but the clock is ticking.
