It’s not great for No. 10-ranked Florida State in 2024, to say the least.
They were upset in Week 0 by Georgia Tech. Then, they lost to unranked Boston College in Week 1 on Monday night with a 28-13 loss.
There will be lots of finger pointing about who’s fault it is, but in college, it usually falls on the head coach. And that’s really what’s happening on social media, especially given that head coach Mike Norvell took the blame.
“I’m sick to how the season started,” he said on Monday after the loss, starting out his meeting with reporters with that statement. “Obviously tonight, I failed in preparing the team to be able to go out and respond tonight.”
"I'm sick to how the season started. Obviously tonight, I failed in preparing the team to be able to go out and respond tonight."
Mike Norvell's opening statement.
He apologizes to fans and everyone associated with program.

Fans were roasting him so bad after the loss:
Mike Norvell really watched DJ U’s career unfold and said yep, that’s our guy to replace Jordan Travis.
And you idiots ranked them no. 10.

Did you wake up this morning and think wow, how did FSU get here? Look no further. High school recruiting under Mike Norvell is a laughing stock. If we can't land a star in the portal we're screwed because we don't have the talent to plug anyone in. Absolutely embarrassing pic.twitter.com/JKsT5ouLat

Reminder that @FSUFootball extended Mike Norvell for 8 years at 10 million a year
He’s now 2-9 without Jordan Travis
