Michael Vick is Officially a College Football Coach
Former Atlanta Falcons star Michael Vick has been hired as the new head coach of Norfolk State, according to The Virginian-Pilot. This marks his first coaching position at any level. Vick, 44, will take over a program that went 15-30 in the past four seasons under former coach Dawson Odums, who was fired in late November.
An introductory news conference for Vick is expected within a week. This hire follows closely on the heels of former Patriots coach Bill Belichick taking over at North Carolina.
Vick, a four-time Pro Bowler, has worked as an NFL analyst for Fox Sports since retiring in 2015. He previously played for the Philadelphia Eagles under coach Andy Reid and the Pittsburgh Steelers under coach Mike Tomlin, and started three games with the New York Jets in the 2014 season.
