Two years ago, head coach Mike Norvell led the Florida State Seminoles to an undefeated regular season and the ACC championship.
However, at the moment Florida State was snubbed for the College Football Playoff, the roof caved in.
If Florida State could afford it, Norvell would have been fired long ago. But they extended Novell for an absurd contract to prevent him from replacing Nick Saban at Alabama.
Since then, Norvell’s program has been a disaster in college football.
Now, Florida State donors and fans have buyer’s remorse.Things won’t get any easier on Friday night at NC State.
Familiar brands on ESPN Friday night should drive strong betting traffic for this matchup.
