Florida State is ready for return as DJ Uiagalelei takes over
Expectations for Florida State’s offense will always be extremely high as long as Mike Norvell is on the sidelines. The former Memphis head coach has led the Noles to a 13-1 team last year and expecting more from this upcoming year.
But despite being with the Seminoles for around six months, FSU’s new signal caller earned the respect of his teammates and coaches relatively quickly. Which head coach Mike Norvelldiscussed Monday at ACC Media Days.
“You see his humility to work, his humility to come be a part of it. It’s never been about him coming into this program and it’s something I think he’s earned the respect his teammates,” Norvell said. “Because he’s jumped in from day one and it’s just always been about the work and it’s been about the investment to build those relationships.”
“And to show that even this is a new language and for the last three years had three new languages he’s had to learn, but you see that what he’s willing to pour in to be able to understand that and then to be able to also help those that are around them. It’s really, really impressive.”
“I think it’s both, and really for us to get a better sense of who he is and some of the things — you can sit there and watch film and you can see a result of the play, but it’s also the process of how you get to the result,” Norvell explained. “And for him, I want this to be the best year of his life and to take everything that he’s gone through, to be able to come together with this team, the individuals that are around it, what we’re asking them to do as a coaching staff and for him to go out there and to be able to execute at the highest of levels.”
