Florida State football coach Mike Norvell entered this season on the hottest of seats. The September firing of athletic director Michael Alford signaled Norvell would likely be next, and following a 3-5 start, Florida State fired its coach Sunday. Norvell's tenure ends midway through Year 7 with a record of 41-39 at FSU. He lost 17 of his last 21 ACC games. (ESPN)
