Coach Norvell, Florida State set for opener vs Georgia Tech

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Mike Norvell has waited nine months to coach his first game at Florida State. After the coronavirus-disrupted offseason, Norvell believes the Seminoles are ready to play their first game Saturday when Georgia Tech visits Doak Campbell Stadium. He has some impressive performances as a true freshman in 2017, coach Jimbo Fisher’s final season with Florida State, and again last year. “The main thing that coach Norvell hit on every day was just responding,” Blackman said. “I’m super excited going into my final year at Florida State,” Wilson said.

Norvell should have easy act to follow at Florida State

Mike Norvell has a relatively easy act to follow. Norvells first season at Florida State should be an upgrade from the Willie Taggart era, which was one of college footballs biggest coaching debacles in recent years. It was so obvious that Taggart was in over his head that Florida State cut ties midway through his second season, a rarity in college athletics. He posted four consecutive winning seasons at Memphis before taking over in Florida's state capital. Before he even coached a game, Norvell was on the brink of a revolt in June after he claimed to have spoken to each of his players individually about George Floyds death and the ensuing protests against racial injustice.

Although he played behind Deondre Francois in 2018, Blackman got his first taste of college football during Jimbo Fisher's final season in Tallahassee. The 6-foot-5 junior from South Bay enters this season with his fourth play-caller in as many years.

Norvell defends program as several FSU players cite lies about health issues

Several other prominent FSU players spoke up in defense of the program, saying that they feel safe. During the entire week of camp I have been lied to multiple times about the conditions of other players health as well as mine, Thompson wrote. Weekly testing has not taken place and many players have tested + and yet told to remain silent! Weekly testing has not taken place and many players have tested + and yet told to remain silent! Im not going to control the players social media, everybody has a platform they can use.

Gov. DeSantis on return of college sports: We want you guys to play'

Ron DeSantis held a roundtable discussion Tuesday at Florida State University, where he pushed for student-athletes, including college football players, being able to play this fall. Recently, there were discussions amongst different presidents and different conferences about whether they should deep-six the football season entirely, and that caused a chain reaction of football players across the county saying, We want to play, DeSantis said. Ive been playing football since I was 4 years old, and from day one of my injury, Ive been preparing myself. Thrasher said Florida State has safety protocols in place and what he believes is the right atmosphere to go out and play football.

Our team has been working hard this summer and we are all looking forward to beginning preseason camp this week.

FSUs Mike Norvell apologizes, team moves forward, after players say he lied about meeting with them

Over a tense few hours, Norvell and Florida State players and administration held meetings and were able to work through things and, as players said, move forward. Seminoles defensive tackle Marvin Wilson took issue with that statement, saying that Norvell didnt have one-on-one conversations with players.
