Michael Vick is reportedly set to become a college football head coach.

According to The Virginian-Pilot, the former star NFL quarterback will take over as head coach of Norfolk State’s football program.

Vick told the outlet on Monday that he was in discussions about potentially taking over the program.

“I know how to lead and I know what matters,” he told the newspaper.

According to ESPN, Vick has also been linked to another college head coaching appointment at Sacramento State.

“He has expressed interest in the position and yes, I have spoken to him about his interest in Sac State football and our athletic advancement. As you can imagine, our job as head football coach is challenging given the success of our athletic programs.” “You play an attractive role,” Sacramento State President Luke Wood said in a statement to ESPN.

Vick played his college career at Virginia Tech from 1998 to 2000 and was named a first-team All-American in 1999. Vick was subsequently drafted by the Atlanta Falcons with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2001 NFL Draft, where he became one of the sport’s best young stars.

Vick was the cover athlete of EA Sports’ Madden NFL 2004. This year’s version of the video game made Vick one of the fastest players in the game and one of the fastest quarterbacks in the series’ history.

But Vick’s career and reputation took a dark turn in 2007.

Vick infamously spent nearly two years in prison after pleading guilty to funding a dogfighting operation, forcing him to miss the 2006 and 2007 seasons.

Vick needed to clean up his image and the NFL allowed him to play with the Philadelphia Eagles, where he spent five seasons after his release from prison in 2009. He also joined the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers before retiring in 2015.

Vick ventured into coaching in the summer of 2017 when he joined the Kansas City Chiefs and his former Eagles head coach Andy Reid as a coaching intern. After completing training camp that year, he joined NFL on FOX as an analyst.

In April 2018, Vick was hired as offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Legends of the Alliance of American Football. However, shortly before the start of the season, head coach Kevin Coyle announced that Vick would not serve as offensive coordinator but would remain with the team as an advisor.

Vick has never coached at the collegiate level, but now he gets a chance to help turn a program around in 2024 after a 4-8 season.
