How did Florida State turn things around so quickly?

After a dreadful 2024 season, the Seminoles are back in the AP top 10 and have an eye on the CFP.

Guess the coronation was a tad premature

FWIW, another ESPN (Andrea Adelson) article on Free Shoes:

Mike Norvell says he believes Florida State not 'far off'​

Florida State coach Mike Norvell said Monday he does not believe his team is far off from competing for championships, one day after the school announced he would return for 2026.

In his first comments since the announcement, Norvell said during his weekly news conference he is grateful to the administration for the belief in "what is ahead of us."

Florida State is 5-6 and needs to beat Florida on Saturday to get to bowl eligibility. Of its six losses this season, four have come in one-score games. That includes two losses -- to Virginia and Stanford -- in which video replay review had an impact on the ultimate outcome of the game.

"I don't think we're far off," Norvell said. "I believe that we are close. You lose six games and it sucks. We have absolutely not been close to the expectation of what I have for this team and for what is the overall expectation of Florida State football. But I do believe in where we're going. I do believe in some of the progress that we've been able to see, but it's not consistent enough."

You can't act like they are a big boy, or close to being back to big boy status, and then whine about close calls impacting the games against UVA and Stanford.

C'mon man.

There is ZERO belief in Norvell.

FSU just blew their wad on stadium renovations and gave Norvell a MASSIVE extension after utilizing the Michigan "9th" year playbook on graduate transfers nationally. They'd owe him $57M in a buyout. They truly cannot afford it.

They had a one year window, similar to Michigan, and it blew up in their face when Jordan Travis's leg exploded....which did legitimately suck for them bc I think they had enough to beat Michigan with a healthy Travis in 2023.

But like Michigan imported a bunch of graduate transfer defensive and offensive lineman exploting "covid" loophole, it wasn't going to be sustainable when you don't develop your own talent, only import it.
