Key discussions center on fan sentiment, the impact on Florida State's upcoming clash with the Florida Gators, and concerns about player development and portal reliance. As rumors swirl about why Norvell is back, Brian Smith asks: Can the Seminoles rebuild trust, or will this coaching decision set the program back for years to come?
