Ryan Kantor: Before last weekend, FSU had lost nine straight ACC games. In a time when James Franklin PSU, Brian Kelly LSU, and Billy Napier UF were fired for less, are you surprised FSU has kept Mike Norvell? Do you believe his job is still in the balance with some tossup games remaining?Tim Alumbaugh: I am not surprised that Norvell still has his job. Athletic Director Mike Alford locked Norvell up with a new deal following the 2023 season. The deal has way too much guaranteed money attached for a program like FSU with their financial challenges. If not for that barrier, I think he would have been gone last year. I do think his job is a toss up if they can find the buyout money but FSU's 202schedule is tough. Do you feed a new coach to the wolves or send Norvell back out to take his licks, fire him then, and save about $10M?Ryan: As I alluded to, Florida State broke through last week by dominating a pretty solid Wake Forest squad. Was it a watershed moment where everything clicked, or is this just the upanddown nature of a squad that beat Alabama and lost to Stanford?Tim: Tommy Castellanos has been hobbled since an injury against Kent State. In this game, it was the healthiest he has looked https://www.clemsontigersfansshop.com/250-Adam_Randall_Jersey. Combine that with Wake shooting themselves in the foot and FSU connecting on explosive plays and it was a perfect storm. The defense also was simplified and the players responded. I'm still not sold they've solved the problem but it was a step in the right : Thomas Castellanos is one of my favorite QBs to watch. He is fast, daring, and sometimes inaccurate. What has the Castellanos experience been like for FSU fans?Tim: I think Tommy is at his best when he does what is asked by the coaches. If a play breaks down, his legs make plays happen. Tommy is at his worst when he goes into Superman mode https://www.clemsontigersfansshop.com/332-Ronan_Oconnell_Jersey. When the offense stalls, he thinks it's up to him and he forces passes, keeps options, and generally tries to overplay. I think he has the skills to beat anyone on FSU's schedule and also lose to anyone FBS level.
