As Florida State prepares to visit Alabama football Saturday to complete the back end of a home-and-home series, its football coach, Mike Norvell, is firmly planted on the hottest seat in the ACC. As it turns out, however, athletics director Michael Alford's seat was even hotter.
The school fired Alford Monday after just four years on the job − he got less time than the most high-profile football coaches and less than Norvell himself. Alford's predecessor, David Coburn, had a four-year run of his own. Prior to that, Stan Wilcox lasted just five years in the role. One departure was a resignation, another a retirement, and the third a firing, but collectively, they represent a lot of administrative upheaval.
MOVING ON: Florida State AD Michael Alford fired after four years
BACK FOR MORE: Does Alabama football want 'revenge' heading into Florida State week?
Alabama has been there. And it doesn't want to go back.

The Justice Department's push to pursue a sweeping conspiracy probe into former officials behind investigations targeting President Donald Trump has descended into turmoil and possibly new delays following the abrupt resignation of the top prosecutor overseeing the probe.
Joe diGenova, the Washington lawyer and former top prosecutor leading the South Florida-based investigation, resigned a day after a tense phone call Wednesday with Attorney General Todd Blanche, according to two people familiar with the matter. The final clash centered on diGenova's effort to block lawyers dispatched by Justice Department headquarters from ***** isting the probe, following broader disagreements with top Justice officials over its pace.
Among the disputes that added to tensions between diGenova and his bosses in Washington was diGenova's request for a high-security room known as a SCIF to be built at the Fort Pierce office, to make it easier for the prosecution team to store highly classified materials, two people familiar with the investigation told CNN. The team worked in an office with a special room where sensitive, but not the highest-classified, evidence could be handled. Justice Department officials told diGenova he and his team should use a SCIF at an FBI office miles away, two people familiar with the investigation told CNN.
DiGenova also pressed for more lawyers for his team. Justice officials pushed back on any claims that he was denied resources, according to two people familiar with the investigation.
For more than a year, Justice Department officials have pushed to bring criminal charges against former CIA director John Brennan, who is accused of making false statements to Congress and has been the subject of the president's ire for years. Since diGenova joined the probe in April, he's chosen to pursue a broader set of charges against several of Trump's political critics — including Brennan — who were involved in investigations of him over the past decade.

Pinterest's CFO resignation and slowing Q3 guidance are repricing its 54x P/E multiple, sending PINS down 21% this month while RDDT falls just 2%.
SOCL and SPY are off just 1% and 0.4%, confirming Pinterest's selloff is company-specific rather than a broad social-advertising sector rotation.
Just released. Our ***** ysts combed the entire stock market and named the ten best stocks to buy right now, and Pinterest didn't make the cut. Enter your email to see the names that beat PINS. The report is free. Enter your email and see if any of your stocks made the cut.
Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) stock is sliding again Wednesday afternoon, and the frustrating part for holders is that there's no fresh company headline attached to the move. Pinterest shares are down 8% to $18.59, extending a punishing stretch that has taken the stock down 21% over the past month and pushing it back near the average price where management ran its recent buyback program.
The social peers are softer but nowhere near as weak. Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) stock is down 2% to $147.04, and Snap (NYSE:SNAP) stock is off 1% to $5.36. Both names posted clean Q2 2026 beats earlier this summer, so today's fade for the peer group reflects a sentiment reset across advertising-driven names more than a fundamentals reaction.

Fenerbahçe returned to football's biggest stage, the Champions League, after 18 years. After a fairly solid opening draw against Roma, a memorable press conference followed. Fener coach Ismail Kartal announced his resignation completely out of the blue. Clearly and without speaking to his players beforehand. One of them, Archie Brown, was caught off guard by the news live during a TV interview.
"What do you mean he resigned?" the 24-year-old asked several times in disbelief. The decision is final. Who will take over on the Fenerbahçe bench remains unclear for now.

Sept 8 (Reuters) - Ukraine's prosecutor general said on Monday he had offered his resignation citing political reasons, in the latest sign of disunity in the senior ranks of the Ukrainian ruling elite.
"This is a political decision, and I have made it consciously. I do not want the position of Prosecutor General to be used as an instrument of political confrontation," Ruslan Kravchenko said in a statement on Telegram late on Monday, without elaborating.
Kravchenko thanked President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Ukraine's parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, and asked them to accept his resignation.
Ukraine's anti-graft agencies, the NABU and SAPO, said last week they had uncovered a criminal organisation dealing with fraudulent call centres which was allegedly arranged by an official within the Prosecutor General's Office.
Kravchenko has denied he was involved in the alleged scheme. "My position regarding the accusations remains unchanged," he said in his Telegram post.

Beleaguered FIFA president Gianni Infantino will resist resignation calls and stand for re-election for another term in 2027, the ruling football body said on Sunday.
"The FIFA president announced in April that he will stand for re-election in 2027. Of course, nothing has changed. Mr Infantino will be standing for re-election," a FIFA spokesperson said.
The statement came the day after Infantino declined to answer questions about his future when asked by reporters at the start of the Women's Under-20 World Cup in the Polish city of Katowice.
"There will be a lot to say, but there will be a right place and a right time to say this. It's not today, it's not here," he said.
Infantino came under fire over eventually scrapped plans to sell stakes in FIFA competitions such as the World Cup to private investors.

North Carolina football general manager Michael Lombardi has resigned, ending the tenure of an immediate hire in Bill Belichick's NFL-to-college coaching transition who had been on on paid administrative leave as the subject of a school investigation.
The school announced Lombardi's resignation Thursday. It also stated it would continue its ongoing investigation and "consider all appropriate corrective actions" as needed.
The school has not released specifics of that probe, noting in its July 27 announcement that employees and athletes aren't permitted to address the topic "as is standard procedure with personnel matters." Three days later, UNC released another statement that said its Office of University Counsel was conducting an investigation, an announcement coming on the first day of preseason camp.
Two people with knowledge of the situation previously told The ***** ociated Press that a human resources complaint from a former employee was involved. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the school wasn't publicly discussing case details.
Attorney Tom Mars, who is working with Lombardi, released a statement from his client confirming the resignation Thursday.

The police chief of a northern Mississippi city where 1-year-old Black child Kohen Wiley was shot and killed by police responding to a shoplifting call was fired Tuesday amid a new controversy.
Senatobia Police Chief Harold Vanderford submitted his resignation the same day, but the city's board of aldermen declined to acknowledge it and instead voted unanimously to fire the chief, according to the city clerk, who did not elaborate on their reasons.
The firing followed reporting by The New York Times, Mississippi Today and Verite News last month that alleged Vanderford used racist slurs in private text conversations with a colleague. It also comes amid the aftermath of the child's shooting and other incidents.
The toddler Wiley was fatally shot and another woman was wounded June 14 after a Senatobia police officer fired into a vehicle while investigating a shoplifting call at a Walmart. The boy's mother, Vellesiya Wiley, denied that she or a friend accompanying her had stolen anything, and no charges have been filed against them.
The officer who shot Wiley and the woman driving the car the child was in has been placed on administrative leave while the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation looks into the shooting.

Trabzonspor have accepted the "emotional" resignation of head coach Fatih Tekke after the Turkish side initially rejected his request to step down.
Tekke, who led Trabzonspor to a third‑place finish in the league last season, tendered his resignation after his side were knocked out of the Europa League play‑off round 5‑0 on aggregate by Hungarian club Ferencvaros.
After rejecting his request on Friday and suggesting the 48‑year‑old made the decision under the "intense emotional impact" of the Europa League exit, the Super Lig club have now agreed to part ways with their head coach.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Trabzonspor said it reached a "mutual understanding" with Tekke and decided to part ways "in line with Trabzonspor's interests and long‑term objectives".
The statement added: "Over his approximately 18‑month tenure, Fatih Tekke brought significant value to Trabzonspor.

NEW DELHI: Former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq has offered his resignation from the Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) national selection committee, adding another dramatic twist to the turmoil surrounding the Test side after a sweeping overhaul of the squad and coaching staff.
According to Geo News, sources close to Misbah said the former cricketer had informed the PCB of his decision and would serve a notice period before formally stepping down. Cricinfo also reported that Misbah had offered his resignation, although the PCB is yet to accept it.
The development comes just a day after the PCB announced wholesale changes to the Pakistan Test squad and coaching staff following the team's heavy 194-run defeat to England at Lord's.
The timing of Misbah's decision has raised questions over the selection committee's role in the PCB's latest overhaul. According to the reports, Misbah was apparently not consulted despite being part of the national selection committee when the board decided to make major changes to the squad and coaching staff.
The PCB released seven players from the Test squad ahead of the third Test against England at Edgbaston, starting September 9. Mohammad Rizwan, Imam-ul-Haq, Salman Ali Agha, Ali Usman, Aamer Jamal, Awais Zafar and Khurram Shahzad were among those released.
Sarfaraz Ahmed and Umar Gul were also removed as head coach and bowling coach respectively.
The PCB subsequently brought in white-ball head coach Mike Hesson and bowling coach Ashley Noffke to work with the Test side for the remainder of the England tour.
Cricinfo further reported that Misbah has decided to step down from his role as a batting consultant at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore, where his contract required him to work for 180 days a year.
The extent of Pakistan's overhaul was further highlighted by the inclusion of five uncapped players in the squad for the third Test.
Arafat Minhas, Mohammad Imran Jnr, Saad Baig, Mohammad Imran Randhawa and Razaullah have been added, while Saim Ayub and Abdullah Fazal have also been brought into the group. The latter two have a combined experience of only 10 Test matches.
The sweeping changes followed Pakistan's innings-and-103-run defeat in the first Test before England won the second by 194 runs. The back-to-back defeats left Pakistan 0-2 down in the three-match series and staring at a potential 3-0 clean sweep.
Misbah was appointed to the four-member national selection committee in March alongside Aaqib Javed, Sarfaraz Ahmed and Asad Shafiq.
The former captain has previously held several senior positions within the PCB. He was appointed head coach and chief selector in 2019, before stepping down as chief selector in October 2020 and eventually leaving the head coach's position in 2021.
He returned to the PCB setup as an adviser in 2023 under the then ad hoc management committee headed by Zaka Ashraf. He was later appointed one of five mentors for the men's Champions Cup and al

MONACO (AP) — Gianni Infantino, the increasingly embattled FIFA president, was everywhere in the conversations as European soccer leaders gathered this week in Monaco for the Champions League draw.
UEFA, the European soccer confederation, is spearheading the backlash against Infantino over his failed World Cup sell-off plan that created a deep rift in the sport one month ago.
Many of its member federations have withdrawn their support for the FIFA leader, who is up for re-election in March 2027, and some have called for his resignation.
Infantino has not given any indication he plans to step down.

Karoline Leavitt may soon be stepping away from her role as White House press secretary after announcing her resignation to spend more time with her growing family, but she is still making public appearances alongside President Donald Trump.
Earlier this month, the 28-year-old was seen with Trump at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where she turned heads in a striking red dress.
The press secretary wore a bright red, sleeveless midi dress featuring a collar neckline and gold embellishment at the center. She paired the look with beige pumps and carried a cream-colored tote bag. Staying true to her signature glamorous style, Leavitt wore her blonde hair down.

Leavitt has remained a prominent figure in the Trump administration, frequently making headlines for both her political role and her polished style. Even after announcing her departure, attention has remained focused on what she will do next.

Demis Hassabis, the ****** el Prize-winning co-founder of Google DeepMind, is stepping down from running the AI lab day-to-day. He's becoming DeepMind's chairman and taking on a new role as Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL)'s chief scientist, while Koray Kavukcuoglu, DeepMind's US-based chief technology officer, takes over operations as senior vice president reporting directly to CEO Sundar Pichai, without the CEO ****** le. The same week, longtime chief scientist Jeff Dean left along with three other senior researchers to launch a new startup called Discovery Loop. Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) shares fell 4% on the news.
The reorganization lands at a rough moment when Gemini 3.5 Pro has now missed three release deadlines while Anthropic and OpenAI keep shipping. That leaves investors wondering whether this is a smart restructuring meant to fix a stalling AI effort or a sign Google's AI leadership is unraveling right when it can least afford it.
Even if Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL)'s Google isn't leading on raw model intelligence, it still has advantages few rivals can match: its own cloud business, custom TPU chips, and distribution across products used by billions of people, backed by $132 billion in net income last year. Artificial ****** ysis CEO Micah Hill-Smith argued Google "could end up doing very well" in the AI race overall because of that broader ecosystem, even without the top model. Kavukcuoglu was already more involved than Hassabis in DeepMind's work with Google Cloud, and people close to the cloud division reportedly welcomed his promotion as a sign the company will prioritize shipping products over pure research. That kind of tighter focus is exactly what several DeepMind engineers say has been missing on coding and agentic AI.
This management swap also means the company is losing a lot of its smartest people. Jeff Dean, Noam Shazeer, and John Jumper have all left within months of each other, and current employees describe deep frustration over sustained 60-hour work weeks, plus a controversial Pentagon defense deal that triggered resignations and sparked the first unionization drive at a frontier AI lab. More than 580 employees signed an open letter urging Pichai to reconsider the deal. Google's models "are currently not competitive with the bleeding edge" on intelligence and coding benchmarks. On top of that, Gemini 3.5 Pro remains unreleased after three missed deadlines even as rivals keep pace. Some employees describe the reorganization as a shift of power away from London toward Mountain View, undermining DeepMind's independence at precisely the moment it needs clear direction.

More than 580 employees signed an open letter urging Pichai to reconsider the deal. Google's models "are currently not competitive with the bleeding edge" on intelligence and coding benchmarks. On top of that, Gemini 3.5 Pro remains unreleased after three missed deadlines even as rivals keep pace. Some employees describe the reorganization as a shift of power away from London toward Mountain View, undermining DeepMind's independence at precisely the moment it needs clear direction.

The Eagles offense looked much better in its second time out, but it wasn't enough to leave Gillette Stadium with a preseason win (gasp!)
Here are the players/people who either helped their stock or hurt it during the 24-21 loss:
As I mulled over which of the Eagles developmental offensive linemen I should begin with on my stock report, the conversation from a few months ago surrounding the potential drop-off in development for those exact players because of Jeff Stoutland's departure came to mind.
For as loud as the concerns about the Eagles continuing to bring along unusual offensive linemen in a post-Stoutland world were after the longtime **** istant coach's resignation in February, it feels fitting to begin tonight's stock report with Kuper, who has done a nice job in his first summer as offensive line coach with the likes of Markel Bell, Drew Kendall, and Willie Lampkin.
Each member of that trio had highlight moments in the early going of a resurgent night from the Eagles offense. Bell carved out a massive running lane for Will Shipley on the Eagles' first scoring drive of the night and, on the next play, Lampkin and Kendall combined for a combo block that washed two Patriots defenders five yards off the line of scrimmage as Will Shipley ran in for a touchdown.

Fans' groups worldwide have launched a petition calling for the resignation of Gianni Infantino as FIFA president and for wholesale reform of the organization.
Infantino is under pressure after being forced to abandon plans to seek private investment in a company to run FIFA tournaments, including the men's and women's World Cups.
Three continental confederations accused Infantino of "deception" in an open letter last week over the manner in which the plan was devised and presented, with European football's governing body UEFA still intent on boycotting FIFA events having "lost confidence" in Infantino's leadership.
The Swiss does still retain support, notably in Africa and South America, but now fans' organizations have called on him to step down, with a petition being launched on the change.org website.
"The shameful attempt by one individual – the FIFA president himself – to sell off the World Cup to private investors exposed a betrayal football will never forget," a statement on behalf of the fan organizations said.

The dismissal of chief operating officer Kevin Lamour by Fifa sends a "deeply troubling message to all of us seeking change", according to Uefa vice-president Laura McAllister.
On Monday evening, world football's governing body confirmed Lamour's exit, coming just over two weeks after he told the ******* ociated Press that the Fifa administration was "deceived" by president Gianni Infantino regarding a proposal to sell shares in a World Cup entity to private investors.
Lamour's public statement on 31 July, alongside the resignation of senior adviser Carlos Cordeiro earlier that day, placed Infantino under severe pressure, with Lamour labelling the private investment initiative as "the project of one person".
McAllister, a former Wales captain and current Uefa executive committee member who previously worked alongside Lamour when he served as deputy general secretary at the European governing body, has now voiced strong criticism of his sacking.
"I know Kevin Lamour to be an honourable and exemplary sports leader who was a trusted colleague of mine when I was first elected to Uefa Ex Co," McAllister said in a statement.

The NFL insider musical chairs continues, as James Palmer is headed to Amazon Prime Video.
According to The Athletic's Andrew Marchand, Palmer will replace Ian Rapoport as the NFL insider for Thursday Night Football, providing reporting for the pregame and postgame shows. It is the latest domino to fall following the merger of ESPN and NFL Network and the resignation of Dianna Russini from The Athletic.
A longtime NFL media veteran, Palmer has bounced around to several unique opportunities in recent years. Palmer now co-hosts a podcast with former NFL Network colleague Steve Smith Jr. and is Bleacher Report's NFL insider. Recently, Palmer also co-hosted Scoop City with Russini and served as the lead NFL reporter for Underdog before its pivot to prediction markets.
Also per Marchand, Prime Video pursued Tom Pelissero before hiring Palmer. On Monday, Netflix announced Pelissero would be the insider for its NFL slate this season while also podcasting at The Ringer, whose shows are licensed by the streamer.
Rapoport contributed to TNF last season, but his exclusive contract with ESPN and NFL Network forced the move. Previously, Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated occupied the role in 2024, and a former ESPNer did so in 2022 and 2023.

Former Iceland striker Jon Dadi Bodvarsson has announced his retirement at the age of 34.
Bodvarsson scored four goals in 64 international appearances for Iceland and started the Euro 2016 match in which his country upset England 2-1 to advance to the quarter-finals, a result that led to Roy Hodgson's resignation.
The striker spent almost ten years in England, first at Wolves, and then Reading and Millwall, before a successful spell at Bolton between 2022 and 2024 where he scored 25 goals in 94 appearances.
He also played for Wrexham and Burton Albion before heading home to Iceland to return to his first club Selfoss.
Bodvarsson said in a statement on social media: "I want to thank all my managers, coaches, players and staff members that I've been grateful enough to have met and worked with. It was great sharing the highs and lows of football with you."

Some days, Tamara Johnson wonders how her life changed so rapidly.
Johnson, 58, made six figures in an executive leadership position, and when her mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and dementia in 2017, she moved from New Orleans to Virginia, where she continued to work while caring for her mother.
Three years after her mom's death in 2020, Johnson's husband suffered a series of catastrophic medical events. To care for him full-time, she took a temporary leave and then quit her job this year. She relied on income from her job's deferred resignation program and her savings to pay for his long-term care. Johnson estimates her family spent over $700,000 in total between her mom's and husband's care. Coming up with that money has been harder, as her husband's income from medical disability retirement was quartered.
"I was one of those people who was taught that you don't quit, you suck it up, and you keep going," Johnson said. "I felt like I didn't have the luxury of falling apart, because if I fell apart, then who would pick up the slack?"

SYDNEY, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Leaders from some of Australia's biggest companies, including major banks Macquarie Group and Westpac, will face questioning from lawmakers on Friday as part of a probe into accounting firm KPMG's alleged misuse of client data to win audit contracts.
Macquarie's chairman and chief financial officer, and Westpac's audit committee chair have been summoned before the committee, which will also hear from telecoms provider Optus' CEO and the chair of property firm Dexus.
The day-long parliamentary hearing is the second to be called since whistleblower accusations that KPMG's staff used inside information to win lucrative audit contracts came to light in March.
Macquarie, Westpac, Optus and Dexus are all companies caught up in the alleged misconduct by KPMG's senior audit partners.
While KPMG initially said the allegations were unsubstantiated, the scandal has since led to the resignations of the firm's CEO, audit boss and chairman.

Manchester United have been given a warning about the growing disconnect between the fans and the club, according to the Stretford Paddock podcaster Jay Motty.
On Sunday Luca Black gave up his role as the under 21s representative on the Manchester United Fans Forum.
In a statement shared online, he said that he no longer wished to contribute to "a process with no meaningful impact", citing a lack of accountability and the insensitivity of season ticket bans as reasons.
Motty believes that the resignation is an opportunity for club officials to recognise the damaging consequences of their approach.
"I think Luca's statement points out that there hasn't been a dialogue," Motty told the Devils' Advocate podcast.

German Minister of State for Culture, Wolfram Weimer, has become the first member of the federal government to call for the resignation of FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
"Infantino has seriously damaged world football with his planned sell-off of the World Cup," he told dpa on Saturday.
"He has lost the trust of the European football community and should not stand for re-election next year."
Infantino has been under fire since he unveiled plans worth billions to sell World Cup rights to private investors last week. Following major protests, including UEFA's threat of a World Cup boycott, the FIFA boss withdrew the proposal.
Other FAs and confederations also rejected the plans and Jordan FA president, Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein, said on Tuesday that they had been blackmailed when being told by FIFA they would only receive money owed to them if he voted for Intantino at next year's election.

A groveling Gianni Infantino has issued an apology for attempting to sell the FIFA World Cup, confirming that the controversial proposal has been SCRAPPED. Infantino has faced fierce backlash since FIFA announced last week — following media reports breaking the story — a plan to sell its competitions to private investors, igniting fury across the soccer community at every level.
UEFA members unanimously voted to boycott FIFA tournaments if the proposal moved forward, while FIFA chief ******* ne Wenger publicly opposed it. An emergency meeting was convened in Morocco on Wednesday amid relentless criticism and continuous leaks surrounding the plans, as per The Mirror.
Infantino has now conceded defeat with a formal apology — though he intends to fight on and retain his position as FIFA President, despite widespread demands for his resignation. A letter co-signed by Infantino and FIFA General Secretary Mattias Grafstrom states: "We acknowledge that errors were also made after the proposal was leaked to media.

International football is reeling once again after an unprecedented institutional attack. Luis Figo has publicly called for the immediate resignation of FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
In a column published in the British newspaper Daily Mail, the Real Madrid and FC Barcelona legend described the Swiss official's conduct as the most "underhanded, deceitful and selfish" he has witnessed in his entire sporting career.
The trigger for this statement was Infantino's controversial plan to sell commercial stakes in the World Cup to private investors. The Portuguese star says the president has lied and tried to enrich himself at the expense of the sport he is supposed to defend.
This firm stance comes right in the middle of a crisis meeting among the governing body's top leadership.
In addition to making the text public on his social media, Figo maintains that Infantino has completely lost the backing of his closest advisers and the global football community.
