It sounds like FSU wasn’t spending like big dogs in NIL. That’s the road they’re going down. $25M invested in NIL and hoping for the best rather than eating $70-75M.

If FSU had deeper pockets he’d be gone. They don’t
Part of Norvell problem is that he's been too reliant on the portal.

Norvell sucks tho, they're just spinning their wheels.

You gotta pay 60m for his buyout. You gotta pay out his staff as well. You gotta pay for his replacement and their staff. LSU and UF are hiring so you’re getting third picks at best.

They don’t have the $$$$ to make the move or they would’ve. You’re talking about easily $110-$115m
Pull the trigger anyway. Just keeping him till next season saves them only $10M. Might as well bite the bullet now since it's inevitable. But they're Napier'ing this shyt. No coach in their right mind is coming into this schedule with the possibility of also having to forgo their first coordinator options or face significant cuts in recruiting and the portal.
