REDLINING: Regardless of any Florida State Recruiting SUCCESS, Norvell Must Be FIRED

The Florida State Seminoles face a crossroads: Should Mike Norvell be fired regardless of the program’s recruiting surge? Brian Smith argues that recruiting gains—including blue-chip prospects like Abraham Cse and TaE Walden Jr.—can’t outweigh a legacy of disappointing win-loss records and mismanaged roster development. Breaking down top targets visiting Tallahassee, Brian Smith assesses Florida State’s battles in key regions—highlighting the importance of Central and South Georgia, struggles at offensive line, and the recruitment of elite defensive talent such as Jabarrius Garror and Sam LeJeune. The episode poses tough questions about Norvell’s future, the administration’s willingness to find the resources for change, and whether improved recruiting alone is enough to keep the Noles from mediocrity. Can Florida State secure the talent—and leadership—needed to reclaim national relevance, or will institutional hurdles hold them back?
