Head coach Mike Norvell's seat in Tallahassee is as hot as any in college football right now, and at least one Florida State fan has opted to take to the skies to make known their opinion of his employment.
On Saturday, ahead of the Seminoles' game against Clemson, a plane was spotted flying around Doak S. Campbell Stadium with a banner containing a message to Florida State: Fire Mike Norvell and university board of trustees chair Peter Collins.
Though, if the banner's message is taken at exact face value, Mike Norvell's job might not actually be in peril. That's because the banner doesn't call for the firing of Norvell per se.
"Fire Novell," it reads.

The concept of expressing frustration with coaches by way of aerial banner isn't novel in college football, or sports. Seminoles in-state rival Miami famously witnessed one of the most extensive such campaigns over 10 years ago, one of a long list of examples that stretches from the NFL to the English Premier League.
The origins of the banner -- and explanation for the misspelling, though one would imagine "typo" looms as the likely culprit -- remain unknown at this time.
