Just a little over halfway through his existing deal with the Seminoles, Norvell signed a contract extension in early February 2023. The three-year extension to his original six-year deal keeps the FSU head coach in Tallahassee through the 2029 season.
The contract extension for Norvell is a sign of trust from FSU athletic director Michael Alford after a difficult few seasons for the program. In his first two seasons in Tallahassee, the Seminoles head coach recorded just eight wins, one fewer than his predecessor, who was fired following a 4-5 2019 campaign.
However, in 2022, Norvell led FSU to their first 10-win season since the Jimbo Fisher-led 2016 campaign. Furthermore, the Seminoles are an early dark-horse candidate for the ACC Championship and a potential return to national title relevancy.

The contract extension brings a significant salary boost for Norvell. After earning $3.035 million in 2022, the FSU head coach will earn $5.335 million in the 2023 college football season.
That is just the beginning for Norvell, however, as his salary is set to increase substantially through the terms of his contract extension. In 2024, the former Memphis head coach will command a $7.335 million salary.
By the end of the current deal, presuming no further expansions, Norvell will earn $8.585 million for the 2029 college football season.
