Florida State head coach Mike Norvell joins to discuss the Seminoles' outlook heading into the season after a difficult year. Norvell reflects on the lessons learned from last season's struggles, why he believes the team can grow from those experiences, and the mindset of players determined to turn things around in Tallahassee. He also talks about newcomers like Deuce Robinson, the versatility of this year's roster, and the challenges of navigating Florida State's upcoming schedule.

Nick and Tim break down Mike Norvell's response when asked about his job security and debate whether the Florida State head coach is truly on the hot seat. Nick believes FSU's massive $51 million buyout makes a firing unlikely, while Tim argues poor recruiting classes and high expectations in Tallahassee make Norvell's seat much hotter than people think.

Chris Nee and Kolby Crawford recap the first day of ACC Kickoff, which included Jim Phillips' annual press conference and availabilities for Mike Norvell and players.

Tonight on Garnet & Old, Vince and Ryan go full C-SPAN After Dark — but with more spear plants and more yellingWe open with the biggest college athletics story of the week: the Protect College Sports Act of 2026 advanced out of the Senate Commerce Committee by a 19–9 vote and now heads to the full Senate. The bill would create national rules for NIL, athlete protections, transfer/eligibility structure, and the future of college sports revenue — including a media-rights angle that matters a lot to schools like Florida State trying to survive the growing SEC/Big Ten money gap. The committee says the bill is backed by a broad group of schools, conferences, leagues, and Olympic-sport advocates, while Chairman Ted Cruz framed it as a “fourth-down” moment for college athletics.  Then we shift to the trail, where FSU recruiting is moving faster than Ryan's emotional stability after one practice clip. Sam LeJeune committed, Marquis Fennell hit decision day, CJ Ohuabunwa reportedly surged after an “amazing” visit, and Jemari Foreman's OV had the staff fighting off a late Louisville push. The big question: in the NIL era, is Norvell's staff changing the calendar by pushing early pledges instead of saving everything for the old-school closing pitch? LeJeune's commitment gives FSU a blue-chip defensive line win in the 2027 class, with the next challenge being the modern recruiting boss battle: holding on until Signing Day.

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 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.

Miami Hurricanes surge ahead in recruiting as Mario Cristobal locks down elite South Florida talent. Will the Florida Gators and Florida State Seminoles catch up, or will out-of-state programs keep poaching Florida's top prospects? Recruiting analyst Brian Smith breaks down Miami's local dominance, spotlighting future stars Nick Lennear, Josh Johnson, and Demarcus Deroche. The episode examines Florida's urgent need for offensive linemen despite landing standout Maxwell Hiller, and questions whether Florida State can recover in the trenches or if Mike Norvell's hot seat will cost them key commits like Mekhi Williams and Jemari Foreman. National powers like Texas A&M, Georgia, Notre Dame, and Ohio State continue to raid the Sunshine State. While Miami's momentum will likely hold versus national programs, but will UF and FSU keep top recruits from signing with out-of-state schools? Get the latest insights on recruiting battles, NIL impact, and which Sunshine State teams are best positioned for long-term success.

You knew we couldn't let this week slide without talking about THE word. You know the one. Mediocre.Four-star recruit Izayah Vickers visits FSU spring practice, a message board LOSES their minds over a misquote, and suddenly there's a bunch of damage control on social media and a podcast. Meanwhile, ESPN is out there using the word "mediocre" in the same sentence as Florida State like it's nothing.But wait — Israel Abrams, the nation's No. 3 QB, also visited this week and said the Noles "did not disappoint." So which narrative wins? Let's break it all down.Tonight:

Over the years I have shared some amazing teachings from Anthony Norvell who wrote some amazing books that taught about manifestation and prosperity. In this sleep meditation I gathered some of my favorite affirmations into one episode. They are perfect to listen to in a sleep setting.  

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
