Podcast appearances and mentions of Mike Norvell

This week, we discuss all things West Virginia, the World Cup, MBG's top-10 most unhinged fan bases, whether the NCAA lawyers tanked their case against Brendan Sorsby, a Tennessee fan who wants to fight dirty, an FSU fan who wants to hire a private investigator to get dirt on Mike Norvell, a BYU fan who would root for Utah over Texas Tech, an Ole Miss fan worried about Nick Saban's safety, a Mississippi State fan who's given up all hope, and our Genius of the Week! Follow us on Twitter:MBG - @BoardGeniusesCasey - @FromSluggoCourtney - @CourtAnne1225Hoos - @HoosFootballPodcast - @TheMBGPodcast Voice Intro:Virginia Hamilton, https://virginiahamilton.net/ Theme Song:Midnight Blues by lemonmusicstudio, https://pixabay.com/music/modern-blues-midnight-blues-21179/ Find more Message Board Geniuses content at https://messageboardgeniuses.com

“The Film Guy” Brooks Austin joins The Next Round to break down two of the biggest conversations in college football: the hottest coaching seats in the country and who has the best QB room over the next four years? Brooks gives his full perspective on which college football coaches are under the most pressure heading into the season, including a deep dive on Florida State head coach Mike Norvell. Does Norvell have ANY chance to save his job at FSU, or has the situation in Tallahassee already reached the point of no return? The guys also discuss Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian and the pressure to win now with, arguably, the most loaded roster in college football. With Texas entering the season with massive expectations, how much pressure is Sark really under to deliver a championship-level year? Plus, Brooks explains why he trusts Kalen DeBoer to get the quarterback position right at Alabama. Can the Crimson Tide continue to develop elite QB play in the post-Nick Saban era? And where does Alabama rank among the top quarterback rooms in college football over the next four years?

COACH IS JOINED BY Dennis Dodd to dissect the latest controversies and legal battles shaking up college football, starting with the NCAA's recent denial of Brendan Sorsby's eligibility appeal. The duo dives into the bitter scheduling feud between Texas Tech and Texas, highlighting how Texas Tech is willing to forfeit a game rather than back down from the dispute. Their conversation naturally broadens to the financial realities of modern college athletics, acknowledging that while educational degrees matter, market value and compensation are the true driving forces for today's athletes. Furthermore, they evaluate the Protect College Sports Act and how legislative efforts are attempting to navigate player pay in an era dominated by the transfer portal and unprecedented roster turnover. The discussion then transitions to the immense expectations placed on high-profile programs and individual players, specifically the unmatched hype surrounding Texas quarterback Arch Manning. Dodd and Coach unpack Paul Finebaum's recent, highly critical takes on programs like Indiana and Michigan, using his commentary to pivot toward an analysis of Florida State's ongoing struggles under Mike Norvell despite massive stadium and financial investments. Finally, the segment concludes with a look at the Missouri Tigers' future outlook; they agree that while Eli Drinkwitz has built a consistent contender, navigating the newly expanded SEC and maintaining a top-tier roster will demand relentless offensive output and significant financial backingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Coach is joined by college football writer Dennis Dodd to discuss several prominent football programs that have fallen from national championship status and their potential for a rebound. They evaluate the future of USC under Lincoln Riley, Florida State under Mike Norvell, and Clemson under Dabo Swinney. Dodd shares his perspective on the strengths and challenges facing each program, highlighting USC's strong recruiting class and Florida State's need for a turnaround season. The conversation then transitions to recent coaching changes, including Matt Campbell's move to Penn State, James Franklin's shift to Virginia Tech, and Kyle Whittingham's new role at Michigan. Dodd provides context on each coach's background, past successes, and expectations in their new positions, while also briefly touching upon recent developments within the Big 12 conference.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Coach welcomes NFL game analyst Charles Davis to unpack the legal and collegiate fallout surrounding Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby and his recent gambling allegations. The duo juxtaposes the modern era of college sports—where universities and networks profit directly from gambling partnerships—against the strict bans historically placed on student-athletes. They map out Sorsby's expected legal defense strategy, which could heavily leverage the NCAA's own gambling revenue ties and a focus on mental health, while tackling the immense challenges this poses for administrators, potential court-ordered injunctions, and the way high-value NIL contracts are disrupting mid-contract transfers. The gridiron breakdown continues as college football writer Dennis Dodd joins the show to evaluate the bounce-back potential of former national championship programs. Coach and Dodd dive deep into the current trajectories of Lincoln Riley’s USC, Mike Norvell’s Florida State, and Dabo Swinney’s Clemson, weighing each program's unique recruiting triumphs and critical turn-around pressures. The conversation shifts into a rapid-fire analysis of the latest high-profile coaching carousel moves, assessing Matt Campbell’s transition to Penn State, James Franklin’s arrival at Virginia Tech, and Kyle Whittingham taking the reins at Michigan, alongside a snapshot of recent developments reshaping the Big 12. Dennis Dodd and Tony Barnhart team up with Coach on Football Saturday, opening with a reflection on Memorial Day weekend before shifting focus to the highly consequential SEC spring meetings in Destin. The panel breaks down whether these meetings will rival the historic 1991 expansion in long-term impact, especially if they chart a course toward a 24-team playoff system. Highlighting key insights on influential figures like Georgia President Jerry Morehead and SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, they examine Morehead's comments on SEC self-governance and potential breakaway from the NCAA. The episode closes with a breakdown of Sankey's methodical data-driven approach to a nine-game conference schedule, a look at Coach Ed Orgeron’s rumored return to the LSU sidelines, and breaking news regarding an active NCAA tampering investigation into Ole Miss stemming from a complaint by Clemson's Dabo Swinney against Pete Golding.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike Norvell faces intense scrutiny as Florida State Seminoles are projected for another rough season—could a mid-year firing be inevitable? With NIL support dwindling and a brutal schedule ahead, questions mount about Florida State's future and whether Norvell's $46.9 million contract will tie the program's hands. Meanwhile, Shane Beamer at South Carolina, Luke Fickell at Wisconsin, and Dave Aranda at Baylor are also spotlighted as coaches under pressure in a shifting college football landscape. Recruiting heats up as Miami Hurricanes land top-100 offensive lineman Jatori Williams and versatile linebacker AJ Randall, signaling serious momentum for Mario Cristobal's staff. Insights into Wisconsin's and Baylor's program struggles, Florida State's NIL woes, and Miami's growing national recruiting footprint shape the debate.

On this episode of The JT Sports Podcast, JT reacts to the idea that Alabama's downfall is a lie and explains why Kalen DeBoer may still have the Crimson Tide positioned as a national championship contender despite impossible Nick Saban comparisons. JT also breaks down why Florida State kept Mike Norvell, whether the Seminoles' roster spending says more about money or lost belief, and how FSU's booster situation could shape the future of the program. Plus, JT discusses how Ohio State helped the Big Ten catch the SEC, why Indiana's perfect 16-0 national championship season may only be the proof of concept for Curt Cignetti's build, and why Will Muschamp could be the biggest reason Texas wins the Natty with Arch Manning leading the offense. JT also gives his college football breakout players to watch, including Keelon Russell, Dallas Wilson, Devin Sanchez, Bryce Underwood, Daniel Hill, Marquise Lightfoot, Waymond Jordan, Bryce Young, Marcus Stokes, and Jaime Ffrench Jr.

In this jam-packed episode, Coach is joined by CBS Sports national college football writer Dennis Dodd and analyst Charles Davis to deliver an insider look at the seismic operational, legislative, and coaching shifts rewriting the college sports landscape. The show kicks off with a deep dive into contrasting transfer portal philosophies—pitting Oklahoma State’s massive 80-plus player roster overhaul against Georgia’s selective, high-school-first approach—before Dodd breaks down a pending bipartisan congressional bill that could introduce strict federal oversight and a hard spending cap on athletic rosters. Coach explores how unprecedented financial investments have turned modern athletic facilities into self-contained living spaces to maximize player retention, while also addressing the normalization of coaches using non-traditional media platforms and the urgent need for comprehensive gambling education amid recent player controversies. After lamenting the loss of historic intra-conference rivalries and analyzing how all 16 SEC programs are strategically utilizing the transfer portal, the discussion shifts to a fascinating wave of high-profile coaching resets. The guys analyze Matt Campbell taking the reins at Penn State to replace James Franklin, the unique mechanics behind Michigan landing Kyle Whittingham from Utah, Alex Golesh’s explosive offensive fit at Auburn, and John Sumrall’s high-ceiling jump from Tulane to Florida. Finally, the segment wraps up with a sharp critique of the newly expanded 76-team NCAA men's basketball tournament and a definitive ranking of three powerhouse programs looking to bounce back under current leadership, detailing USC’s physical improvements in the trenches, Dabo Swinney finally embracing NIL and the portal at Clemson, and lingering skepticism surrounding Mike Norvell's Florida State squad.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Coach is joined by Charles Davis to break down a fascinating wave of high-profile coaching changes and program resets across college football. The guys dive right into the massive musical chairs happening at the top, starting with Matt Campbell taking over a Penn State program that Charles calls "the university of the Northeast". They note that while James Franklin put up great numbers, his struggles in high-profile national games ultimately opened the door for Campbell's elite talent-developing style. Moving over to Michigan, they pull back the curtain on Kyle Whittingham’s unique transition; it turns out Utah was already priming Morgan Scalley as the coach-in-waiting, which essentially allowed Michigan to swoop in and land Whittingham without a massive buyout battle since he had technically stepped down. Down south, they expect Alex Golesh to be a seamless fit with Auburn’s incredibly loyal fanbase thanks to his deep southern recruiting roots and explosive offensive background from Tennessee, while John Sumrall’s jump from Tulane to Florida has them both highly optimistic given his proven knack for elevating programs. To wrap things up, the guys rank three powerhouse programs looking to bounce back under their current leadership. Lincoln Riley’s USC squad takes the #1 spot after glowing spring reports about the trenches looking better than they have in years. Dabo Swinney and Clemson land at #2 as Dabo finally embraces "Realville" by mixing the transfer portal and NIL into his traditional high school recruiting philosophy. At a distant #3 is Mike Norvell’s Florida State team, where the hosts admit they're skeptical of a quick fix since the Seminoles just haven't looked the same since that heartbreaking playoff omission two seasons ago.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Florida State Seminoles hierarchy needs specialized and well-advised plans for its football program to win big; firing Mike Norvell shall not be enough. Further, at least one massive step must be undertaken prior to Norvell's ouster. It's a biggy defined during the show. Here are the prime steps that won't be easy either. Brian Smith defines how the administration must be in lockstep with its finances, have the praise of its media, and possess the fan and booster support that the people currently in charge should be the ones making hiring decisions prior to Norvell being jettisoned. Good luck with each of those, as the Seminoles brass is failing miserably in the public opinion polls among all three categories. Can the Seminoles administration at least begin to make headway? Smith breaks down why those are critical points, how it happens, and one massive problem that still needs ironed out. The show also calls on fans to chime in. What do you want to hear about prior to this next FSU season starting? There's nothing truly positive to discuss. Zip. None. Nada. What's on your mind? Join the chat and let your voice be heard. Check out this exciting no-holds-barred podcast discussing FSU's future. Will Norvell be canned with a well thought out plan in place to find his successor, or will FSU fall further into mediocrity because of poor management?

We’re back for Part 2 of our May Q&A, which means the offseason conversation gets both bigger and weirder. We start off with College Football Playoff expansion anxiety, including the possibility of a 24-team field, the future of conference championship games, and the growing gap between the people running the sport and the fans who love it. We discuss the new marriage between Michigan State and Pat Fitzgerald, which leads us into a broader conversation about safe hires, risky hires, Transfer Portal recruiting, and what it actually means to rebuild in the modern Big Ten. We also touch on Texas, Arch Manning, Steve Sarkisian, Florida State, Mike Norvell, and the kinds of expectations that can turn a normal season into a referendum. We also spend some time on the quarterback and offensive coordinator pairings we’re most curious to watch, with stops at places like Georgia Tech, UCLA, Florida, Kentucky, and a few others. Which combinations are actually exciting? Which ones feel volatile? Which ones have the widest range of possible outcomes? And because it’s an offseason Q&A, we find room for the important stuff: wearing your team’s gear when things are bleak, whether video podcasts have raised the appearance bar, and Dan’s surprisingly spicy take on wearing sneakers with suits.

In this episode of Bleav in the ACC, the crew takes a comprehensive look at Florida State's offseason and what it signals for the program heading into 2026. The conversation centers around roster turnover, with a deep dive into the production lost on both sides of the ball and how that impacts overall team identity. The group evaluates the Seminoles' transfer portal strategy, comparing incoming additions against outgoing talent, and discusses whether the approach reflects a true reload or exposes underlying gaps in roster construction. The discussion also explores how Mike Norvell's system and staff continuity factor into the transition, particularly in maintaining offensive efficiency and defensive stability after key departures. From a personnel standpoint, the episode breaks down positional strengths, areas of concern, and where Florida State may struggle to replicate last season's output. The broader ACC landscape is also considered, with context around how Florida State stacks up against conference peers who have aggressively used the portal to close the gap. Beyond just player movement, the episode leans into the operational side of roster building—touching on decision-making, valuation, and how programs manage high-volume turnover in the current college football environment. The result is a clear-eyed assessment of where Florida State stands today, what their margin for error looks like, and what needs to happen for them to remain competitive at the top of the conference.

Florida State wrapped up the first week of spring camp Friday with its first padded practice, with coach Mike Norvell pointing to several newcomers who have made early impressions on a roster still taking shape. “There were some good things that we did and there's some ugly moments, and some really good responses throughout the course of practice,” Norvell said. “Some big plays showed up both sides of the ball.” We were aggressive in our installations, just trying to force guys with their study, their process, and the application of the things we put in,” he said. “I felt the winter program prepared them.” The linebacker room drew particular praise. Freshman Noah LaVallee forced a fumble in the opening practice Monday and followed with open-field tackles on Friday. Norvell also mentioned freshmen Karon Maycock and Daylen Green as contributors in the early going. Linebacker Izayia Williams remains sidelined working back from a knee injury but has been present in meetings. Veteran linebacker Chris Jones said the first day in pads brought a different kind of energy to the group. “I love to hit, so it was just good to be back in pads for sure,” Jones said. He also credited the group's “gradership program” under position coach Coach Sims, where upperclassmen are tasked with pulling younger players aside and coaching them up throughout practice: “That one thing you tell him that one time, he can remember that and that'll make him better.” On the defensive line, Norvell said Franklin Whitley has shown natural strength despite limited football experience, while Earnest Rankins drew praise Friday after being challenged heading into the padded session. “We've got big expectations for him,” Norvell said of Rankins. Norvell also singled out edge rusher Deamontae Diggs, who missed most of last season with an injury, as a standout Friday. “He's not fully there, but if he keeps taking steps, he's going to provide a real presence on the edge.” First-year edge coach Nick Williams also drew praise. “I love his energy,” Norvell said. “He's going to push guys to an expectation of what it needs to be, and he does that for himself.” Legacy wide receiver Devin Carter has also caught Norvell's eye. “He's a good worker. He really loves the game. You could tell he's a technician of the game,” Norvell said. “Not everything has gone well for him this week, but even in the moments where it wasn't a great play, you can feel his urgency to go get better.” Wide receivers Darryon Williams and EJ White have also been seeing reps, with Norvell noting good moments alongside areas still to develop. In the backfield, Norvell called transfer Tre Wisner “about all the right things that you want,” pointing specifically to his leadership, football IQ and work in pass protection. “He's smart, he studies, he's got versatility — protections are something that's important to him,” Norvell said. Sophomore Ousmane Kromah was quick to echo the praise, saying that “he really does take care of everybody.” Participating in his first spring camp after arriving last summer as true freshmen, Kromah said Wisner has helped him process the game faster. “My game has grown in majority vision,” Kromah said. Kromah also praised four-star freshman Amari Thomas, saying the room has barely scratched the surface with him. “Just wait till we actually groom him and teach him how to do certain things,” Kromah said. “It's over.” At quarterback, Norvell said Auburn transfer Ashton Daniels has produced at least one explosive vertical play in each of the first three practices. “For a guy that has a lot of recognition for his movement skills, he's been able to locate the ball and put it in good places,” Norvell said. Freshman Jaden O'Neal, out for the season due to injury, has remained active in the meeting room, something Norvell said he's been pleased with. Learn more about your ad choices.

FSU football hit the field on Monday for the first day of spring camp, piecing together a practice that head coach Mike Norvell said was “what you want from a first day.” “I thought it was a very productive first day,” he said. “There were some shots on ball defensively that I liked. I think we were able to jar one free [from] one of our young freshmen offensive players, so that's something they could definitely learn from. Had a couple hands on ball in the defensive backfield.” “I thought the quarterbacks really did a really good job, being able to go and have control of what we did today. Located the ball well. I mean, there's a couple explosive plays that showed up down the field. But all in all, I think it felt like it was a team that came with a good understanding of day one and now we get to continue to work on the details of what's necessary and going to get better. Just in helmets, so only, there's very limited contact at all and obviously we'll build up for Friday to see the physical element of it but the guys moved well and moved confident.” Norvell also confirmed that defensive lineman Jordan Sanders will be out for the spring, defensive end Cam Brooks out until at least mid-season with hopes to get him in action and true freshman quarterback Jaden O'Neal will be out of the season. When asked about what he's looking to see from quarterback Ashton Daniels, Norvell told local media that the priorities are locking in his “command and control of the things he's being asked to do.” “This is really his fourth offense since he's been in college he has to learn, and that is a good thing when it comes to a lot of things that you can fall back on,” he said. “There's not much that we're asking him to do that's totally different than something that he's done before, there are some foundational elements that he can pull upon but now it's how we do it and the finer details — where we want eyes, the locations, reads all those things we kind of work together.” “I thought he threw the ball really well today. He's able to locate it, you could tell that those guys, receivers, quarterbacks, I mean, for the first day, I mean, you could see the work that they've done on their own. And so it was pretty clean when it came to that. And he had a really good control. I thought he played fast.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
