ORLANDO — What Florida State coaches and fans didn’t see in 2024 is what Mike Norvell spoke passionately about before his first 2025 spring booster tour stop.
“I've been a head coach now nine years, and there were times last year, really first time since I've been a head coach where we would play, and it wasn't my guys weren't trying, but there wasn't that edge that I've become accustomed to,” Norvell said. “… It’s something we have to get back. I didn’t do a good enough job of forcing that edge to be there.
“We all have to be responsible to it. And there’s been change. There’s been change on staff. There’s been change with players. There’s been change with guys that we’ve brought in. I’m really excited about it.”
