Remember the good old days when the national championship race was annually affected by who won the annual Florida State-Miami rivalry game? This season, the only race the two programs are involved in is the race to see whose coach will be fired first.
Florida State, under second-year head coach Mike Norvell, is 0-3 for the first time in nearly half-a-century. Meanwhile, it’s being reported by the Miami Herald that UM trustees are already discussing a possible replacement for coach Manny Diaz, who is a late field goal against Appalachian State from also being 0-3.
As I wrote last week, I think it would be insane for FSU to fire Norvell after only two seasons, especially when he took over the dysfunctional program during a global pandemic a year ago.
