Michael Vick talks to Sacramento State and Norfolk State about head coaching jobs

Michael Vick has talked to at least two schools about becoming a college head coach. Sacramento State president Dr. Luke Wood said Monday he has spoken with Vick about the opening at his school, and the Virginian-Pilot reported that Norfolk State has also interviewed the former NFL sensation to be its next coach. Wood said Vick expressed interest in the open job at Sacramento State, which is trying to make the move from the FCS level to the FBS if the school can get an invitation to join either the Pac-12 or Mountain West Conference. The 44-year-old Vick, who served 18 months in prison for dogfighting while in the prime of his career, told the Virginian-Pilot that he has spoken with Norfolk State president Javaune Adams-Gaston and athletic director Melody Webb about the position and expects a resolution “soon.” Norfolk State fired coach Dawson Odums in November after a 4-8 season. “I know how to lead and I know what it takes,” Vick told the newspaper, saying Norfolk State — a historically Black school near his hometown of Newport News, Virginia — reached out to him about the position.
