For the first time since 2015, Michael Vick will be back on the sidelines. This time, it's as a college football head coach, as he enters his first season leading the Norfolk State Spartans.
Vick was hired by Norfolk State in December 2024. The Newport News, Virginia, native took the job in Norfolk, Virginia, only 20 miles away from his hometown. Vick starred at Virginia Tech, where he led the Hokies to a 22-2 record over his career. In 1999, Vick and the Hokies made it to the BCS National Championship, where they fell to Florida State.
When he took the Spartans job, Vick said on social media that he was "looking forward to coming back home." Before the first game of the Michael Vick era at Norfolk State gets started, let's dive into his contract.
