Florida State dropped to 0-3 to start the 2021 season, losing 35-14 at Wake Forest on Saturday, further fanning the flames about Mike Norvell’s future in Tallahassee.
Norvell is in just his second season at FSU, but his record is now a paltry 3-9 and his team has suffered some humiliating losses, most notably last week’s 20-17 defeat at the hands of FCS foe Jacksonville State.
Typically, a coach in his 2nd year wouldn’t be on the hot season so quickly. But that might not be the case at Florida State, which fired Wille Taggart after just 2 seasons and a 9-12 mark.
If Seminoles fans had any say in the matter, Norvell would be gone tonight, as was evident scrolling through Twitter comments during and after the Wake game.
Here’s a look at some of heat that Norvell was catching from the FSU fan base:

If I was trapped in a room with Mike Norvell, Lucifer, and Hitler and I had a gun with 3 bullets, I'd shoot Mike Norvell all 3 times for what he's done to FSU

And to think we thought it couldn't get worse than under Willie T. Mike Norvell, "hold my beer".
