Florida State University football, after parting ways with head coach Mike Norvell, will play Boston College on Saturday at noon ET in Alumni Stadium. The Seminoles are exploring head coaching candidates, seeking a proven leader. Several candidates, including Bob Chesney and Eli Drinkwitz, are active this weekend, while others, like Charles Huff, are on a bye. The search is complicated by the need for a new athletic director, with FSU president Richard McCullough overseeing the dual searches. Additionally, Daniel Parker from Parker Executive Search has been hired to aid in both processes.
