Live Updates: Mike Norvell press conference, previewing FSU spring practice
The FSU football team will open 2025 spring practice on Wednesday, and head coach Mike Norvell is meeting the media this morning to preview the month of practices.
The Seminoles will be going through their first spring with new offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, new defensive coordinator Tony White and a slew of new assistant coaches and players.
Here is the link to live updates from Norvell’s press conference, which is scheduled to begin around 11:30 a.m. ET
The complete video and full coverage will be coming after the event. Florida State’s other assistant coaches also will be speaking to the media early this afternoon.
Before the press conference started, Norvell also informed the media that most spring practices will be closed to reporters. In his first five years at FSU, Norvell made nearly all practices open to the press.

Here is statement on that decision:
“As I evaluated every aspect of our program this offseason, I came to the decision that the majority of this year’s spring practices will not be open to the media. In my first five seasons here, we provided unmatched access to members of the media to observe practices during the spring, preseason camp and game weeks,” Norvell said. “I appreciate and respect the media’s role in telling the stories of the people in our program and keeping our fans informed. In a day and age where so many people have access to our players, I want to create an atmosphere free of outside perspectives during our time of preparation and development. The availability of our program in terms of post-practice media opportunities and individual requests for players, coaches and staff members will remain the same.
“This is not a suggestion that I think last season’s record had anything to do with media members observing our practices, especially after we won 19 games in a row in 2022 and 2023 with media at practice. However, this is the best decision for our program at this time.”
