Congratulations;Mike Norvell’s wife Maria Norvell welcome new baby Florida celebrate…
Mike Norvell’s wife is Maria Norvell. Mike Norvell is the current head coach of Florida State.
Norvell was born in Irving, Texas, on Oct. 11, 1981. He walked on at Louisiana Tech in 2000 and then transferred to the University of Central Arkansas. He was a wide receiver, setting the school’s all-time reception record with 213 pass receptions.
Norvell had 2,611 yards, 15 receiving touchdowns, two passing touchdowns, and one rushing touchdown. In his senior season, the team won the Gulf South Conference championship and made it to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II playoffs.
Norvell went on to be a coaching assistant at Tulsa under Gus Malzahn. He was a graduate assistant for a year and was then the wide receivers coach for two years. Pittsburgh hired him as their co-offensive coordinator in 2011, and Arizona State made him their lone offensive coordinator in 2012.
Norvell’s first head-coaching position came with the Memphis Tigers in 2016. Novell led the Tigers to a 12-1 record in his final season with Memphis, bringing the team to a No. 17 ranking in the AP Poll and winning the American Athletic Conference.
He left the team in 2019 to become the head coach of Florida State. Norvell gradually improved the team to a point where they were 10-3 in 2022, winning the Cheez-It Bowl.
The Seminoles started 2023 by beating the No. 5-ranked LSU Tigers. They went undefeated the rest of the way, beating the Louisville Cardinals in the ACC Championship game.
Despite being an undefeated conference champion, the committee left Florida State out of the College Football Playoff. It didn’t go over well with Florida State or their head coach, as Norvell felt the committee snubbed them from a golden opportunity to be a national champion. However, FSU was then destroyed in the Orange Bowl by No. 6 Georgia, 63-3.
The following season, FSU completely fell off, starting out 2-9 with one of the wins coming against non-major Charleston Southern. The Seminoles will finish their season against rival Florida on Nov. 30. With Norvell going through perhaps his most difficult season, let’s get to know the person who will support him regardless, Mike Norvell’s wife Maria Norvell.
