I'm sitting here today 3 days after LSU-FSU 2023 game with FSU currently ranked #4. He really really meant this speech. It gives me chills to see this speech almost 2 years later. To witness the results of hardwork, determination, passion and genuine love for both teammates and the game of football. Never been more proud to be a Seminole fan!! GO NOLES!!

2 years later and he beats Clemson and LSU to start the season 4-0 and are now contending for a playoff berth. Damn proud of you Coach and shout-out Corey for asking this program changing question.

Coach is off script and raw. True emotions!!!! I like this.

Finally….a little emotion from Coach!!

I can feel him. Get better and keep climbing. We will get it turned around. Go Noles 🏹

I'm with you coach, win or lose I'm an fsu fan for life.

For the first time he sound like he's telling the truth 👌🏿

2 years and he completely turned around FSU. Just whipped LSU 45-24. Who knew this was the moment FSU will come back when we were at our lowest. Norvell is the man, I don't want to here about anyone else, he is our coach.

I remember when my Gators was the laughing stock of Florida and The SEC! Not to long ago! But the right coach can turn it around! Good luck FSU! Football is best when the Big 3 are kicking butt!

That was the best explanation…… I hate loosing, Support my Noles. Waiting for the change.

Hawkeye fan: this was a GREAT answer to the question. Love the enthusiasm...

4 and 0 this was a game changing speech love this coach

Damn! That shit actually made me hyped!!😂

Yessir!!! We are closer than people want to believe. Thanks coach. On today's date, Mike Norvell took possession of the Florida State football program. It's tough! Do It Anyway coach!!!!! Go Noles!

This gives me hope for the future. We’re rooting for you Mike! Go ‘Noles!

That was a pretty good response to a very difficult situation.

Almost a year to the date. Since this, they are 9-3 and now sit 4-0 and ranked. Mike knew

Been an FSU fan since 92 and I'm not changing for nothing

I am sitting here rewatching this sitting at 9-0 and it's incredible how he means every word that he says. He always talks like this and he gets players who want to run through a wall for him. This is how you build culture when you are losing. This is also why unless it's a complete disaster coaches should be given at least 4 years to get their recruits in and build their program culture. It's crazy to me that last year we had fans who were thinking he wasn't our coach. I am so glad that our program knew who they had and knew the results would be worth the wait.

That's what I'm talkin bout, show that emotion, idc bout the 0-4 start this man can coach and every fsu fan can see the turn around from the past couple years..it take time but I'm witcha coach real shit..I'm mad at the losses but it's complete bullsh** to say he ain't changing the culture here💯💯💯

Lose Big, Lose Small, Win Small, Win Big. In that order coach, it's the only way. I appreciate the honesty it was overdue and I still have faith he is on track to turn this thing into a dominant program.

"Yeah I'm pissed off we're 0-4" Being pissed off is a right step towards change. Let's go Noles

Canes fan here and FSU Recruiting class is amazing it’s just going to take time I wish our fam base was like y’all’s patient

Im pleased to see him be accountable. I have no doubt he wants things to get better. Its the execution for me. Fanboys take note. Its ok to critique the HC when the team isn't winning. That doesn't mean he sucks as a coach. But he said it perfectly, losing is "failure". Im interested to see if the teams comes out w/ this passion on Saturday.

Watching this after a perfect regular season and a win over UF

I like this coach. I like that the team doesn't give up. Fight fight fight!

I love this, I love the passion and showing that he is upset about the craziness. Nothing is normal, and here he is TRYING to save our beloved team. And Corey Aslan and Ira are just smashing him to the ground and he's refusing to buckle!!

Not a FSU fan. Never . This guy is a winner. He'll get there.

I like the passion he showed! This leaves me optimistic about the season let’s turn it up Noles

Gonna start watching this for motivation. What a great man and coach Mike is.

This aged well

After this I am more convinced than ever that he is the right man for the job. The program is getting turned around, but there is obviously a ways to go. It is better than the last few years, players and staff both have bought into the program. The fans forget that this situation did not happen overnight, and will not be fixed overnight.

I really appreciate 🙏 coach Norvell & I think in due time he's going to turn this program around. As a die hard FSU fan it sucks to loose & it comes with the territory. But I was also there when FSU was @ the top!!! So I truly believe we will get back to being a winning program. I'm a Noles 4 Life!!!!!! GO NOLES......

Now we're 3-0, and I have a feeling that I'll be coming back to watch this speech for a long time.

I love to come back here and read the comments that were made 2 years ago. Response in the face of adversity is the true test of character.

This was fantastic. I love that emotion.

Just coming back to this to remind myself basically what started this

FINALLY !!!! HEY SHOWED SOME BACKBONE . IM still on board but was worried about if he had any balls and he finally showed he does.

Let him rebuild this team. 3 coaches in 4 years is insane! FSU needs structure and a solid foot-print before they can start building.

I understand coach but you do need to make changes on Staff.

This is the response that I have been waiting to see. The only difference with Norvell and good experienced coaches is that they would have done it by mid-season last year and the beginning of this year. Remind people your program is young and inspire these kids.

Don’t let this distract you from the fact Mel Tucker took a 2 win Michigan State team last year with players he didn’t recruit and has them 4-0 this year and playing discipline football.. it doesn’t take 3 recruiting cycles folks. Oh in case you’re wondering Michigan State in recruiting was ranked 44th nationally in 2020 33rd ranked in 2019 and 31st ranked in 2018. 😆

You better preach coach!!! Love my coach!!! Go NOLES!!!

Mike, you are alright 👍 with me. You put yourself down on that question. You are right when you up everybody praise you and the team. When going threw the valley of low people opinion like but holes everybody got one go Noles.

That eye roll at the end 😂

Reminds me a lot of my high school coach. Took over a 2-8 team when I was a junior and by senior year we were 5-4 and had our first winning season since 08. Fsu fans have finally had to learn to be patient bc we were so spoiled. I’m lucky bc being a bucs fan through the 2010s humbled me 😂

That’s what I like to see and hear. Love the passion. Got to be patient. I believe he will turn it around.

I for one, and I may be in the minority, still believe in Mike Norvell.

Love this! We got your back coach! Go Noles!

Stop self-censoring Coach, say the cuss words, SAY IT!

Love my FSU team!🇺🇸❤️

He's talking accountability...I love it! Go Coach! Go Noles!!

Flash forward some time. We lost to Clemson essentially by 3 points and just beat Miami for the first time in 3 years. This press conference means more than we knew at the time. I think he he is turning things around. Let’s get some playmakers and see how loud Doak can get.

I am with you coach

I still remember when ppl laughed at this as if he wasn’t true to his word 😂 Mike has gotten such undeserved criticism when he inherited the worst fsu team in our history with most players that felt let down and abandoned and mike stayed true to them. I love this man ❤. Glad to say I supported from day 1 🍢💯

Wow- dude just made me reinvest in the program. Well said

"I say this all the time in coaching," Fisher said. "You can have Vince Lombardi, Tom Landry, Chuck Noll - you can have the greatest coaches in the world. But if your administration doesn't see things the way you see things and allow you to do things that way, nothing can be achieved." Coach Jimbo Fisher

Good job Corey asking the tough questions

Give this man a chance remember in came in a mess. Doesn't matter to me I'm FSU for life!

Hang in there coach! What you are trying to accomplish is not easy and I know you will succeed! Go Coach Norvell and staff and Go Noles!

Let’s go Noles I feel ya Coach 💪🏾

I'm an Auburn fan and THAT was awesome.

This is a winning program now and the wins will come. Go Noles!

I'm not going nowhere. I'm with Norvell.

Greatest coaches speech

Let’s go coach I been here before we’ll get back up we are Florida state

Well said Coach Norvell. He will be a big winner at FSU and it won't take that long. Wait and see.

Great answer coach!

Awesome response

What a time . Now 16 wins in a row . Good job Mike . In norvell we trust

Go Coach Norvell! And Go Noles!!!

Let’s get it coach. It’s about the climb. FSU will be back! The Unconquered

Nice to hear something other than Coach talk or we have a plan then no comment.

I am with you for life

We stayed for every single second of this game, because we ARE Florida State Seminoles!! and because drinking was allowed at our seats. Go NOLES!!! We've got this!!

we are turning it around, I believe in these coaches

That’s my coach.

Mike got us!

I believe on him. Go Noles!

Do recruits believe in the coaching staff at FSU? Do they believe the coaching staff will likely be there for the next 3-4 years? Recruits and their parents want stability. They want coaches that will put them in a position to win.

Fireeee it up Mike! We play football really fast and loud in the state of Florida, this is what we need. I love these Noles, in fact these guys are very dear to my heart after that last loss. This season is the worst season in Nole History so far, the worst, every fanbase everywhere is laughing at these Noles, but you know what, it ain't as bad as I thought it would be. A few years ago if you asked me how It would be to experience a 4-6 season followed up by a 0-4 start I woulda thought I would be devastated and paperbagging it to work lol But tbh, I think Norvell and these Noles are getting very very unlucky in many facets, they are an 0-4 team that realistically should be a 2-2 team with only self-inflicted wounds away from a hard fought 4-0 (a little mental gymnastics there lol). Go Noles! This season and last season have made me a bigger fan of FSU Football than even the National title season, because I'm a sucker for an underdog story lol

It’s something about Norvell getting emotional after Louisville. Listing to this video after we beat Louisville-2022

Great answers though Coach Norvell

Keep Charging Coach!

Thinking about making the drive, and go to the Syracuse game.

You can thank Jimbo for this situation - it is going to take Norvell time to clean up that sell outs mess.

Man yall sure is singing a different tune now then when Taggart was here. 😂

People got to understand that our players and our culture have absolutely sucked the last few years. This coach actually cares and believes in what he's doing. More importantly the players believe in what he's doing. They are showing effort and not quitting when faced with adversity. The last few years down 31-7, those teams would have packed it in. Down by 18 to ND, they would have too. They didn't. We are just not very good but heart is coming back. Let him build this program and support the staff and team. The only ones that give up now are the fans.

0-3 team down 31-7 the fans gave up and the players kept fighting! The players are buying in from someone

I love it! re-building takes time.

The further into the season, the better they are getting so I feel the discipline is correcting itself and I feel the buy in. It’ll be a scary team late into the season. Might not win a lot of games, but fsu could spoil someone’s season late I into the year.

I was left with sh$t, I'm trying to make a beauty out of a sow's ear. "I'm pissed." Been waiting for that. Feel my/our pain. Be a part of the solution.

The man was left a mess to clean up and it started under the "great" Jimbo Fisher.

Hang in there coach, you will be fine.

Excuse me while I go run through a brick wall knowing we're 8-0 right now and 23-6 since this question was asked. Go Noles!

Question is if FSU only beast Syracuse and Umass and go 2-10, 1. Is he still the coach, 2 do the recruits stick. It’s not getting any better from here on out. They already lost some of the most winnable games on the schedule. Just my thoughts

This was the moment everything changed

F**k yes! Stand strong. GoNoles!

Start winning some damn football games or the recruiting class will be Gators, Hurricanes , Crimson Tide,Bulldogs or Tigers.

This is a passionate and authentic answer - that's leadership. He's 12 games in and working on his first recruiting class. Give it time.
