Nightmare down in Florida with Seminoles fans now calling for Lane Kiffin

It's not been pretty down in the state of Florida regarding college football—well, if you're the Gators or Seminoles, it hasn't. Florida took a beatdown from their rivals, Miami, on Saturday, and last night, Florida State went 0-2 on the season. After a Week 0 loss in Dublin, Ireland, to ACC Conference rivals Georgia Tech, they lost another conference game to Boston College on Monday night.

From just over nine months ago to now, the mood around the Florida State football program feels very different. Fans correctly expressed anger about being left out of the College Football Playoffs in December 2023, and a section of the fanbase now wants current head coach Mike Norvell out. The winds of change can blow so differently and so quickly in this sport.

It's a disastrous start for Norvell, but let's be clear: he will not get the chop anytime soon, and most of the fanbase won't want him gone. However, one of those few that does has taken to the message boards on 247Sports asking for Lane Kiffin, just as Florida Gators fans did.

Lane Kiffin in demand down in Florida

We saw the Florida fans take to their message boards asking for Lane Kiffin as their next head coach. One Florida State fan wants the same, but he is only No. 2 on his list, behind Georgia defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann.

The Seminoles will likely bounce back under Norvell, who is a good head coach. One team that the "fire him army" will not stay quiet is in Gainesville, where head coach Billy Napier is on borrowed time. Likely, he won't last the season, and if they do fire him, Kiffin's name will be brought up on more than just message boards.

It shows you the work Kiffin is doing at Ole Miss. When a top job is available or a head coach is on the hot seat, fans always have his name on their list. Kiffin has a different perspective now, with the Ole Miss program and the community looking like a home of the future.

Kiffin is not going anywhere, and it feels so different from past seasons. There is a no small uncertainty around situations with potential open vacancies at programs. It's great to sit back and watch the carnage unfold, knowing your program is doing okay.
