Norvell is a name that is being bandied about a lot within the industry right now. After what happened with the CFP and FSU's upcoming battle with the ACC, it could make sense timing-wise for Norvell to look at other options. DeBoer is a name we've heard from the beginning that people strongly feel is in the mix but things are generally quiet around him right now.
