"Today marks a historic day for Norfolk State University. I am thrilled to welcome Michael Vick and his family back to the Hampton Roads area to lead our football program." " said Norfolk State athletic director Dr. Melody Webb, emphasizing the significance of Vick’s appointment.
Mike Vick, a Newport News native, expressed excitement about returning home to lead the program, stating he is 'looking forward to coming back home' as the new head coach.
Vick's impressive history includes leading Virginia Tech to the 1999 national title game and being the first Black quarterback chosen with the No. 1 NFL draft pick.
Norfolk State previously had a 4-8 season and has only made one appearance in the FCS playoffs, a first-round loss in 2011 to Old Dominion.
