How much did FSU pay Mike Norvell? A look at the Seminoles HC's contract details

Mike Norvell has certainly made his mark at Florida State, boasting a 31-17 record over his four seasons with the Seminoles. This success has earned him a major contract extension, keeping him in Tallahassee through 2031 with a hefty net worth expected to reach at least $53.095 million, according to College Football Network.

Norvell, now 41, has an overall coaching record of 56-31, including his time at Memphis. Last football season, he led the Seminoles to a stellar 13-1 season, despite the heartache of missing the College Football Playoff after a season-ending injury to star quarterback Jordan Travis.

Under the new deal, Norvell will earn an average of $8.05 million per year, with his salary rising to $10.15 million next year, according to Tampa Bay Times. His base pay will continue to increase by $150,000 annually, capping at $11.05 million in 2031.

According to ESPN's report, performance incentives are also part of the package, offering $200,000 for a New Year's Six bowl appearance, $250,000 for making it to the first round of the College Football Playoff and $950,000 for winning the national championship.

The cost for Norvell to leave Florida State for another job has also increased. If he departs this year, he’ll owe the university $6 million—a jump from $4 million in the previous agreement. That figure drops to $4 million next year.

In his time at the Seminoles, Norvell is 23-4 over the last two seasons.

“It has been an incredible journey these last four years, and I have fallen in love with this program, the university, and the people who I get to represent,” Norvell said [H/t The Athletics]. “I am so excited to continue our climb to push Florida State back to the top of college football.”

Despite Florida State's success last season, the team became the first unbeaten Power 5 champion to be excluded from the CFP.
