Summary
A social media video showing a truck outside Mike Norvell's home sparked false claims that Florida State was preparing to move on from the coach.
The vehicle was widely identified as a delivery truck, not a moving truck, undercutting fan speculation that Norvell's departure was imminent.
The rumor gained traction after Florida State fired athletic director Michael Alford, who had given Norvell the contract extension that left the coach with a nearly $50 million buyout.
Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger reported Florida State officials still are not comfortable paying that buyout, making an immediate coaching change unlikely despite fan pressure.
