The football team is having one of its worst seasons in decades with a 1-9 record. During the town hall, AD Alford spoke about the current season that has left fans, and even the administration, perplexed as the team has fallen to historic lows.

“Well, as you mentioned, none of us, one, planned, two, are very happy with where we are, but we are where we are,” Alford said. “And more importantly, what are we doing about it?”

Alford added that he and Norvell have been in constant communication throughout this process. All visions are aligned with those of the Seminoles at a critical time.

“I can tell you that Coach Norvell and I talk every week, you’ve heard me for many years talk about the daily communication that we have, the shared vision, the partnership that we have, and I would take that with President McCullough and our board of directors and our chairman, Peter Collins, and your chairman, Warner Peacock, and the promoters. This is truly a partnership between us all and a shared vision of what we need. do to succeed. best, to compete for the national championship.”

THE State of Florida AD went on to reaffirm his commitment to Mike Norvell for the program’s long-term and short-term goals.

“Mike and I have a very, as I mentioned, comfortable and open relationship. There’s a mutual respect for each other. He understands my role. Of course, I understand his role. We have a shared vision. We will work together to correct this,” Alford said.

He talked about some of the different factors that led the Soviet Union to find itself in its current situation, but added: “Regardless of that, we should be better. We shouldn’t be in this situation.”

“The strength of our relationship and our collective commitment cannot be stronger on what we are going to do to resolve this issue.”

The unfortunate side of the coaching carousel includes the assistants who were let go after Saturday’s historic loss. AD Alford mentioned that the decisions made by the university are still intended to speak to its student-athletes.

“The timing of the situation is a constant assessment, a constant evaluation. We meet every Sunday after the games, the coach and I do it, and we go through this week, go through the future, try to project where we’re going having to make some decisions and really put this on a schedule.

“We’re also making sure we’re doing the right thing by the student-athletes,” Alford added. “That’s the number one criteria that he and I use. What’s best for these young men right now. Forget about everyone else, what’s best for these young men.”
