Florida State football rumors: Did Mike Norvell just save his job by taking Miami to 2OT?

Florida State head coach Mike Norvell was visibly upset following the Seminoles' controversial double-overtime loss to Miami. The team put up a strong fight, but ultimately fell short in the decisive overtime period. ESPN quoted Norvell expressing his deep disappointment over late-game penalties and a disputed final play that turned an interception into a non-touchdown.

The coach also pointed out the unusual fact that the same officials officiated the critical sequence for a second straight year, drawing on a similarly contentious ending against Stanford. While the defeat raises questions about his job security, sources close to the program suggest that a significant loss like this would likely spark pressure from the administration to consider a midseason coaching change.

Despite the challenging circumstances, the close performance against a top-ranked opponent indicates that Florida State is unlikely to make any major midseason moves, especially with visible support from the roster. The team will now regroup during their bye week before facing Clemson in their next game.
