Florida State Seminoles overpower Virginia Tech Hokies 34-14, but head coach Mike Norvell’s future remains the biggest question in Tallahassee. Brian Smith spotlights key moments from Senior Day, dissecting Tommy Castellanos’ dual-threat performance and a defense that delivered under red-zone pressure—despite surrendering 238 rushing yards. Concerns linger over missed recruiting opportunities, run gap failures, and reliance on the transfer portal for pass rushers.

The conversation intensifies around Norvell’s coaching tenure, with passionate fan reactions and Brian Smith calling for a leadership change, regardless of the victory. How does Florida State stack up against peers like Miami, Georgia, and LSU? What needs to happen for the Seminoles to return to national prominence? Recruiting, bowl game implications, and the path forward are all on the table. Tune in for a razor-sharp breakdown of FSU’s current state and what must change for a brighter future.
