Michael Vick told the Virginia Pilot he is speaking with Norfolk State about its head football coach opening.
Vick told the paper he expects there to be “resolution” soon.
Sounds like if Vick were to be hired he would follow the Deion Sanders plan and hire a strong staff to surround him.
Speaking from his Florida home, Vick told The Virginian-Pilot and Daily Press that he has spoken with university president Javaune Adams-Gaston and Spartans athletic director Melody Webb and that he expects resolution “soon.”
Vick lacks formal coaching experience but said, “I know how to lead and I know what it takes.”
Norfolk State was 4-8 in 2024. It has not had a winning season since 2021.
