FSU President Acknowledges Football Struggles, Announces AD Search
Florida State University President Richard McCullough issued a letter to fans Tuesday acknowledging frustration with the Seminoles' 3-4 record and confirming that the search for a new athletic director will begin soon. FSU fired AD Mike Alford last month and named Bruce Warwick as interim AD, while coach Mike Norvell remains in his seventh season at 41-38. McCullough said leadership is evaluating the athletics structure and defining expectations for the next AD. The article notes that removing Norvell would trigger a nearly $50 million buyout, and Florida State's potential ACC departure could cost approximately $75 million by 2030.
