Okay, so I got curious about this “Jay Norvell parents” thing. I’d heard the name, knew he was a football coach, but didn’t know much else. So, I started digging.
My Little Investigation
First, I just hit up Google. You know, the usual. Typed in “Jay Norvell parents” and see what popped up. I scrolled through a bunch of articles, mostly about his coaching career, some game recaps, and the usual sports stuff.
I found out quickly that his dad was Merritt Norvell. I was clicking around, that his dad passed away several years ago. I also found more details.
- His dad, Merritt Norvell.
- He was one of the first Black athletic directors at a major university.
- His mom’s name is Cynthia.
I spent a good hour just reading different articles and piecing things together. It’s kinda like putting together a puzzle, you know? You get one little bit of info here, another there, and slowly you start to see the bigger picture.
Honestly, it was pretty interesting! You start with a simple question and then you end up down this rabbit hole of information. I even watched a couple of short video clips of Jay Norvell talking about his dad in interviews. You could really see how much he admired him.
I ended up doing for that, so intersting!
