As the 2024 season winds down, the Florida State Seminoles football program faces critical questions about its future direction and potential coaching changes. With a disappointing 1-8 record and struggles throughout their Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) schedule, many fans and analysts are questioning whether a shift in leadership could spark a long-awaited turnaround for the storied program.
Head coach Mike Norvell, who took over the team with high expectations, has faced challenges in maintaining consistency on both sides of the ball. While there have been bright spots, such as kicker Ryan Fitzgerald’s record-breaking season, the Seminoles have struggled to find a balance on offense and defense, often falling behind early and struggling to catch up.
The program’s recent loss to North Carolina, a 35-11 defeat, highlighted some recurring issues. The Seminoles’ defense allowed 500 yards, while the offense managed only 201. Despite an impressive 56-yard field goal by Fitzgerald, FSU couldn’t sustain momentum, with quarterback Brock Glenn throwing for only 123 yards. As the team heads to its final games, questions loom over whether leadership changes might address these ongoing issues.
Potential coaching adjustments could offer the fresh start that fans and players alike hope for. Some sources close to the program suggest a shake-up in offensive or defensive staff positions could be likely, as the team aims to refocus and build a more resilient lineup. For Seminole fans, the next few weeks could be pivotal, as FSU’s administration evaluates its options for creating a stronger foundation in 2025 and be
yond.
