Florida State football coach Mike Norvell has signed a contract extension that runs through the 2029 season and will average $8.05 million in compensation.
Norvell is coming off a 10-3 third season with the Seminoles, capped off with a win over Oklahoma in the Cheez-It Bowl. FSU finished No. 11 nationally — its highest mark since 2016 — and will enter this season as one of the favorites in the ACC and a legitimate College Football Playoff contender.
“Coach Norvell has re-established a culture that the entire Seminole Family can appreciate,” athletic director Michael Alford said in a statement.
“We are proud of the way Coach Norvell, his staff and his team represent Florida State University on and off the field. Under Coach Norvell’s leadership we have experienced the highest grade-point average in program history multiple times, an unprecedented impact in our community and drastic improvement on the football field through him establishing a foundation of unwavering standards in all areas. I’m happy that we are going to continue climbing with Coach Norvell for years to come.”
Said Norvell: “I’m grateful for the trust our administration continues to place in me to lead the Florida State football program. President Richard McCullough, the Board of Trustees and Michael Alford have been important pieces in our success, and the alignment we have makes me excited for the future of this program. I appreciate their support and vision to continue our climb toward the top of college football. I’m also thankful for the people who brought me and my family here three years ago, along with the players and staff whose commitment has helped us build this foundation. The future is bright here in Tallahassee.”
