FSU's Mike Norvell earns major honor amid growing scrutiny
After a week of mounting pressure surrounding his future at Florida State, Mike Norvell earned CBS Sports' ACC coach of the week recognition.
Florida State head coach Mike Norvell's fortunes took a dramatic turn this week as he received national acclaim following the Seminoles' convincing 38-7 victory over Virginia. CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz named Norvell as the ACC Coach of the Week, a stark contrast to earlier reports suggesting his job security was under threat. The win marked Florida State's first Power Four victory of the season and highlighted a stellar performance from quarterback Ashton Daniels, who rushed for 136 yards and five touchdowns, setting a program record.
The defense was equally dominant, recording 10 sacks and holding Virginia to just 205 total yards. This surge of success has shifted the conversation about Norvell's future, turning him from a potential candidate for dismissal to a coach receiving national recognition. The Seminoles now stand at 3-2 overall and 1-1 in ACC play, providing Norvell with a much-needed positive result amidst growing scrutiny.
