College football fans intensified their demands to fire Florida State coach Mike Norvell after the Seminoles absorbed a 34-31 loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida.

Norvell's team suffered its third straight defeat after starting the season with three straight wins, including a 31-17 upset of SEC powerhouse Alabama in the season-opener on Aug. 30.

This caused fans to call for his ouster and urged the Florida State athletics department to give him the $65-million buyout he's mandated to get in his contract and release him as soon as possible.

One user wants Florida State to bring back former coach Jimbo Fisher, who went 83-23 in eight seasons of coaching the team from 2010-17, which was highlighted by a BCS national championship win in 2013.

Norvell's team allowed the Panthers to score 13 straight points, giving the visitors a 34-24 lead with 2:28 left. The Seminoles reduced the deficit to three with a touchdown drive but Pittsburgh held on to the last possession to secure the win.
