Enjoying the Journey: How Mike Norvell Brought FSU Football Back to the National Stage
It’s been two years and two months since the unforgettable game when Jacksonville State stunned Florida State, leaving their football program in turmoil. But from that dark moment to now, FSU’s resurrection has been nothing short of miraculous.

Mike Norvell and his team refused to remain in the shadows of that devastating loss. Instead, their meteoric rise to fourth-ranked FSU, headed to the ACC championship game and keeping their College Football Playoff hopes alive, has been nothing short of remarkable.

Norvell’s C.L.I.M.B. acronym defines the foundation of the program’s rebuild: commitment, little things, intensity, mental toughness, and brotherhood. The head coach’s unwavering dedication to FSU’s storied tradition and respect for his position have played a pivotal role in reaching this historic moment.

Norvell’s journey would not have been possible without the support and resilience of the FSU community. Their unwavering faith and trust in Norvell’s process have proven to be instrumental in the team’s revival.

As the Seminoles continue their miraculous resurgence, one thing is certain: their unbelievable climb back to the top is a testament to the power of unity, perseverance, and unyielding dedication. The future for FSU football is radiant, and fans can finally revel in their hard-earned success.
