Exclamation Can some FSU fan please explain what's going on?


Did the Noles really find a new (and worse) way to foul things up on social media?
Why would you say you've talked to all of the players unless, you know, you actually did it?

Wow! This is a new world... publicly calling out your head coach for insensitivity on a very important and emotional personal issue.

That is a lot of maturity and guts for a college player. Will be interesting to see whether Norvell truly gets the message.

Maybe some players sent him a text back?

Not an FSU fan, but this seems to be pretty serious:

"FSU Football Players Will "Not Be Working Out Until Further Notice" After Mike Norvell Lied To Media About His Response To The Events Surrounding George Floyd's Death"

It is less insensitivity, it is more like possible dishonesty. Norvell is forever hustling backwards on this in regards to recruiting.

But I did not realize that there are a bunch of innuendos regarding why he was at Memphis so long and why Tennessee, Arkansas and other Power 5s did not hire him.

Why is it that whenever a coach leaves Memphis for the ACC, they seem to go straight off the rails?

Fuente is also a mess - but for different reasons.

I will wait for someone inside the FSU fanbase to explain what in the world is going on down there!

Don't forget Pastner.







On a different yet related note, I was happy to see Collins and Stansbury showed PR savvy early:

Sounds like a case of (1) poorly chosen words, in (2) a sensitive situation, but apparently Coach Norvell has apologized and the players have forgiven him.

The coach stated something akin to "I spoke to each of my players".

What he had done was sent a text to all players saying if they would like to communicate with him, let him know.

The players stated he lied, immediately went irate.

It was a dumb miscommunication, players are angry, the anger wants to go somewhere.


It's an unforgiving world, I don't understand it anymore. Don't really understand any thing most people believe in. All seems insane to me.

Thanks, Nole. That's basically what I got out of it, too. Glad everyone was able to be mature about it and straighten out the misunderstanding.

That said, this is just a taste of what's like to be in the big-time spotlight for Coach Norvell. He handled it well AFTER the mess up, but it would be best for all parties if he would avoid words like never, always, none and all until he thinks about what he's about to say (and that goes for all of us - but the consequences are greater when you're the head football coach of the Florida State Seminoles!)
