Florida State head coach Mike Norvell announced that the Seminoles will not release any depth charts for the 2026 season, a decision that has drawn criticism. Once known for open media practices, FSU has scaled back access significantly, limiting practice viewings and changing the Inside Seminole Football format to a studio show. This shift coincides with a challenging period for Norvell, as he seeks to improve upon a 2-10 season. While he cites player development as a reason for reduced media information, the lack of transparency raises questions about the program's direction under increased pressure.
