After NoleGameday's report was published concerning the War Chant not appearing on third downs, FSU head coach Mike Norvell gave his thoughts on the situation.
Florida State head coach Mike Norvell spoke to the media on Wednesday, answering questions regarding the day’s practice as the Memphis Tigers come to town on Saturday. The final question asked came from Warchant’s Ira Schoffel surrounding the news covered byCoach Norvell came out in support of the Chiefs, saying he wants to “hear them every second of every moment” during FSU contests.
“I know that was something that came about last week. And to be honest with you, totally transparent, I had no clue about that in the moment. I guess, last year, Kalen DeLoach and Tatum Bethune just asked for a small sequence of some music or whatever it was that would lead into the Marching Chiefs playing. And you know, I want to hear them every second of every moment of the game,” said Norvell.
He continued by mentioning that steps have been taken to address fans’ concerns surrounding the Chief’s involvement during game days. “I think they’re remarkable and what makes Florida State special. And so, there’s been some meetings making sure that our coordinated approach of trying to create the best atmosphere that we possibly can,” Norvell said. “I don’t want there to ever be a situation where there’s anything that’s – I think we’ve honored tradition, we’ve honored the people that make this university special, and we’re going to continue to do that.
“But also realize that I was told it was every game last year too, and never heard about it last year because we didn’t lose any games at home last year. So we’re definitely going to make sure we work to get that part right. But absolutely, you want to make sure that the Marching Chiefs are a strong presence in everything that we’re doing throughout the course of the game so, play on.
