‘Fire Tony White Tomorrow,’ ‘Worst Defense in FSU History’ — Calls Mount for Seminoles to Part Ways With DC After Giving Up 50 Points in Alabama Loss
Florida State opened the 2026 season with a home victory over New Mexico State, but positive momentum did not last all that long. Following a loss to SMU, the Seminoles’ struggles continued Saturday night as they suffered a 50-36 loss against Alabama.
Calls intensified for Florida State University (FSU) to part ways with defensive coordinator Tony White following their 50-36 loss to Alabama, the worst defensive performance in program history. Fans took to social media to demand White's immediate dismissal, arguing that the Crimson Tide's blowout victory marked a significant setback for the Seminoles.
Head coach Mike Norvell conceded that the team's defensive play is "not good enough right now," but his remarks alone are unlikely to quell the mounting pressure on White unless accompanied by staff changes or a positive turn in the team's performance.
