It was widely expected heading into the college football season that the Florida State Seminoles and head coach Mike Norvell would part ways at some point.
That decision has been expected to come sooner rather than later and the first domino in that process may have fallen with an announcement Monday morning.
Florida State has fired its athletic director
According to On3’s Pete Nakos, the University has fired athletic director Michael Alford. Alford took over as the AD at Florida State in 2022 after briefly serving as the CEO of the Seminole Boosters.
Unless there were outside factors that led to the dismissal of Alford, it certainly feels like that is the first step in the direction of Norvell’s eventual firing.
