Plane flies banner calling for Mike Norvell to be fired

FSU fans have taken to the skies to voice their displeasure with head coach Mike Norvell. Before FSU's game against the Clemson Tigers, a plane was seen flying around Doak Campbell Stadium, calling for the Seminoles to fire Norvell and Board of Trustees Chairman Peter Collins.

There was one problem: Norvell's name was misspelled on the banner, with it saying "FSU: Fire Novell + Peter Collins." While it is an unfortunate typo, it is clear just how frustrated FSU's fanbase has become with Norvell.

The Seminoles are 3-4 overall and 1-3 in ACC play this season. Only one of their wins is over a Power Four opponent, and the Virginia Cavaliers are 4-4. FSU will have a chance to get back to .500 against Clemson, with the Seminoles nearly a touchdown favorite over the struggling Tigers.

FSU has suffered back-to-back losing seasons under Norvell, who is in his seventh season as their head coach and has a 41-38 overall record. They have not won a road game since the 2023 season, a streak that is well over 1,000 days and continues to climb. Despite those struggles, he has a massive buyout, and FSU's administration has continued to support him.

According to Dan Rorabaugh of USA TODAY Sports, Norvell's buyout is $47.7 million if he is fired before Dec. 1, 2026. While it would be the third-biggest buyout in college football history, FSU's fans are tired of losing and ready for a change, no matter what it takes.

FSU's game against Clemson is set to start at 7 p.m. ET in Doak Campbell Stadium. The game will air on the ACC Network.
