Two years ago today, two games after losing to Jacksonville State, FSU fell behind Louisville 31-7. Uncharacteristic of post-2015 FSU, they didn’t give up, but their rally fell short 31-23. FSU dropped to 0-4 for the first time in memory.
Norvell’s response to a question about recruiting is one of the more real, clear-headed, and appropriate speeches I’ve ever heard from a coach.
It reflects how most FSU fans have felt about Mike Norvell basically since his date of hire, despite the losses.
What impressed me the most about his speech was the calm conviction. And so far, his words have not been empty.
It’s not too long, I’d recommend you take a few minutes to listen to it.
