Since the arrival of Mike Norvell at Florida State, one word has defined his tenure — climb.

To be more specific, it's one acronym, since like any coach worth his salt, Norvell developed one to embody his vision for what the program should emphasize: commitment, “little things,” intensity, mental toughness, brotherhood.

That, combined with the mantra “in all aspects,” has laid out the foundation for the Seminoles in his three years. Combining the two, it theorizes that in all actions, you have a chance to embody and enact all four elements.

We’ve seen the results on the field — a nine-win season, top 15 ranking and a Cheez-It Bowl berth in year three after a three-win season in Norvell’s debut.
