Florida State fired head coach Mike Norvell, university president Richard McCullough told ESPN's Andrea Adelson.
Norvell's dismissal comes after the Seminoles dropped to 3-5 on Saturday following their third straight loss - a 36-24 defeat to Clemson.
He'll be owed a $50.3-million buyout, subject to offset and mitigation, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel.
Longtime Middle Tennessee coach Rick Stockstill will serve as the Seminoles' interim coach. Stockstill has been FSU's director of offensive scouting since 2024.
Florida State also fired defensive coordinator Tony White, Pete Nakos of On3 reports. White was in the midst of his second season with the Seminoles.
Norvell's best season with Florida State came in 2023, when the program went 13-1. However, the Seminoles have gone a disappointing 10-22 since then.
During his tenure with FSU, Norvell compiled a 41-39 overall record.
Florida State hired Norvell in December 2019. He served as Memphis' head coach before joining FSU, posting a 38-16 record with the Tigers.
