Mike Norvell limits media access and depth charts for 2026 season
Summary

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.
