While much of the college football world paid attention to who would make the sixth edition of the playoff system, the FSU football family kept their eyes squarely on Tallahassee – as Mike Norvell was announced as the 11th full time head coach of the Seminoles and the third person to hold that title in a period of just over two calendar years.
Norvell comes to Tallahassee after stints as an assistant coach at Arizona State, Tulsa and Pittsburgh before he spent the last four seasons as head coach of Memphis, where he won double digit games two of the last three years highlighted by a 12-1 record this season that has them on track for a New Years Six bowl appearance.
