Last year, Florida State’s game against Clemson was ultimately canceled due to one player on the Tigers testing positive a day before the matchup. That led to a rift between head coaches Mike Norvell and Dabo Swinney, and that feud apparently hasn’t been resolved just yet.
Following the postponement of last fall’s game, Norvell and Swinney took some thinly veiled shots at one another in the media. During Thursday’s ACC Kickoff, Norvell was asked about whether he and Swinney have spoken since then. The Seminoles head coach admitted that they have not, but he also acknowledged that they have both been focused on coaching their own teams.
“Not really,” said Norvell when asked if the two coaches have talked since then. “We both have jobs to do and continue to invest in our programs. That’s my focus. At the end of the day, there’s really nothing to work out. Coaches can make statements. That’s the opportunity we all have. Everybody is entitled to an opinion they want to state.”
