Anti-Mike Norvell Plane Banner Circling FSU's Doak Campbell Stadium Before FSU-Clemson Contained Typo
A fan-funded plane circled Doak Campbell Stadium with a misspelled message calling for Mike Norvell’s firing before Clemson kicked off.
- On Saturday, an airplane flew over Doak Campbell Stadium carrying a banner demanding the firing of Florida State head coach Mike Norvell and Board of Trustees chair Peter Collins, though the message misspelled Norvell's name as 'Fire Novell.'
- Florida State fans organized the protest via a GoFundMe that raised $3,500, reflecting escalating frustration as the Seminoles dropped to 3-5 overall, continuing a 10-21 record slide since the 2023 Orange Bowl.
- Clemson coach Dabo Swinney called the banner 'embarrassing,' 'shameful,' and 'disrespectful' during his postgame remarks, yet defended Norvell as 'a good man' and urged fans to support the student-athletes.
- FSU President Richard McCullough issued a letter acknowledging fan frustration while vowing to 'make the right decisions for Florida State's long-term future,' though firing Norvell would cost around $45.6 million after the 2026 season.
- The Seminoles are three years removed from their last winning season and tied for last place in ACC play, yet no decision has been made regarding Norvell's future as pressure mounts.
