TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- When Mike Norvell evaluated what happened last season at Florida State, he took a long, hard look at himself.
The same processes that worked so well in building the Seminoles into an ACC champion had now failed him. His evaluations from the transfer portal did not translate into immediate success. He could not find a way to connect with a team still smarting from a College Football Playoff snub the previous season, one that lacked chemistry, synergy and leadership.
He admitted his body language throughout the season "sucked." He allowed his emotions to overcome his belief in staying positive no matter the circumstances.
