Former FSU QB Jordan Travis reflects on Mike Norvell's firing and impact
Summary

Jordan Travis, the former quarterback for Florida State University, expressed feelings of guilt regarding Mike Norvell's recent firing. After a 36-24 loss to Clemson that left the Seminoles with a 3-5 record, Norvell was dismissed from his position. Travis believes his own season-ending injury in 2023 contributed significantly to the program’s struggles, as it kept the team out of the College Football Playoff, which he feels could have altered the trajectory of Norvell's tenure. Since Travis's last season, Florida State has recorded a 10-22 overall record. University president Richard McCullough cited the lack of progress as a key reason for Norvell’s dismissal, underscoring the need for a turnaround in the program's performance.
