Leadership

“I presented this to our administration in an effort to boost the support of our student-athletes while recognizing that the results and expectations need to be upheld to the highest level. I wanted to be proactive in my financial assistance through this time of transition as we all push forward to get back to the standard of Florida State football. Great days are ahead, and I’m grateful to coach these players and lead this staff. We have been hard at work to uphold the tradition here at Florida State, and I believe this step will help accelerate the process to where I know we are going.”
– Coach Mike Norvell

“We are grateful for Coach Norvell’s commitment to our student-athletes. He is a high-character person who took an honest assessment of what the program needed from its leader to move forward. I’m excited about the future of Florida State football. FSU will continue to be a leader in the new structure of collegiate athletics, and that includes how we provide for our student-athletes. It will take additional support. I’m not going to be shy about encouraging others to follow Coach Norvell’s actions and contribute however they can.”
– Vice President and Director of Athletics Michael Alford

“Coach Norvell’s leadership and commitment to FSU Athletics is an inspiration to us all. Together with our fans, alumni, and supporters, we can build upon our tradition of excellence for Florida State Athletics that lasts for generations. By joining this campaign, everyone can be a part of this vision.”
– Seminole Boosters President and CEO Stephen Ponder
