Following the FSU coaching search has not been nearly as complicated as some have made it out to be.
1) FSU had an initial list of candidates.
2) Kirk Herbstreit, Jim Henry, and DOT said that Bob Stoops was not going to take the FSU job.
3) FSU officials moved on to other candidates and it is confirmed they spoke with Mark Stoops, Mike Norvell, and James Franklin. It is unknown if they met with Matt Campbell.
4) FSU moved on from Mark Stoops - he solidified his commitment to Kentucky.
5) FSU offered Franklin - he didn't seem interested in a change, but wanted leverage for an extension at Penn State (likely to be announced in the next week)
6) FSU considered Campbell - they did not work out a deal and Campbell signed an extension at Iowa State
7) Mike Norvell - the only legit candidate remaining - has not been announced because Memphis still has one more game to play
All of the above statements can be verified by other notable websites beyond twitter and message boards. Many of the above statements have been personally confirmed by DOT.
Why in the world are posters still discussing conspiracy theories regarding Bob Stoops? There is available media of him working another football job this week. It is obvious that he is not going to be working for FSU as a football coach.
The drama is over. Mike Norvell will coach on Saturday. On Sunday, rumors will start flying about Florida State. Next week, he will be our new coach.
