Michael Vick is embarking on a new chapter in his football career. This chapter isn’t about playing the game or broadcasting about it. As it is about teaching the game to the next generation and working with them from the start. You may have heard that the FOX broadcaster has inked a contract to become Norfolk State’s new head coach. And, while this is wonderful news for him, the man was somewhat sad on the broadcasting table. But why was this the case?

For those who missed the broadcast on FOX, Vick’s new job was discussed thoroughly here. Charissa Thompson, along with NFL legends like Julian Edelman, admired the 44-year-old for his new career. They complimented him and emphasized how he deserves a big break like this. This was exactly when Michael Vick got emotional. He realized he had made some great friends on the table who genuinely cared for him. Not only that, but they were all wearing the Norfolk State football team cap to support him which was a great gesture.

Michael Vick is embarking on a new chapter in his career, so it is natural for the former QB to become emotional during his last few FOX appearances. The man described how he wished to give something to the coming generation. He explained, “When you got a chance to go lead young men in your community, where I grew up watching this team…I got what it takes.”

While Vick’s job change has received a lot of attention, does he have a solid plan for the team?

What does Michael Vick intend to do at Norfolk State team?

Imagine being assigned as an HC with no experience. This would imply that the team management has complete trust in you and expects you to share your experienced football IQ with the players. The same is true for Michael Vick. After, all the man has been the broadcaster for 7 years. Woah! Shocking but it’s true the man began his broadcasting career at FOX in 2017 and that must have made him understand the game better from an outsider’s perspective.

The new HC revealed his first plan with the team. He explained how many new aspiring talents are available, and his first goal is to test all of them. Vick explained in an interview, “I understand the position that Norfolk State is in. I understand where we are. There’s going to be a lot of kids out there that are looking for opportunities to play football, to play at a level where they can continue to grow. I’m looking forward to that part, working with kids each and every day, as opposed to, you know, a two-day football camp.”

Going for newer talent appears to be a solid decision, and it will be interesting to see how the FOX Broadcaster turns things around for Norfolk. Only time will tell whether Vick’s appointment as head coach will improve the team’s performance or not. So stay tuned to find out.
