  "account": "After a 36-24 victory over Florida State on Saturday, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney condemned fans for displaying a disrespectful banner over Florida State Stadium. The banner, which misspelled Norvell's last name as \"Novell\" and called for his firing, as well as for chair Peter Collins, reportedly cost $3,500 and was funded through a GoFundMe organized by FSU fans. Swinney expressed his disappointment, stating that it was an embarrassment and that it was not good for the kids. He also praised Norvell as a good man and a great football coach. Swinney emphasized that it was unacceptable to tear people down, especially in a challenging situation. Florida State is currently 3-5 overall and 1-4 in the ACC, with their head coach Mike Norvell facing a difficult decision due to a substantial contract buyout.",
