Michael Vick is ready to take his first foray into coaching, and may have a job lined up already.
Vick confirmed Monday that he is in talks regarding the head coaching position at Norfolk State. He told David Teel and Michael Sauls of The Virginian-Pilot that he had talks with university officials and is eager for the chance to lead the FCS school, and expects a resolution “soon.”
Vick has no formal coaching experience, but he is a native of the Tidewater area and would likely be a hugely popular hire locally. Since officially retiring in 2017, he has primarily done work as a TV analyst for FOX Sports. The extent of his coaching experience is a brief stint as an analyst in the defunct Alliance of American Football in 2019.
Norfolk State would need Vick to execute a pretty significant turnaround job. The program has not had a winning season since 2021, and is coming off a 4-8 campaign in 2024.
