Former NFL quarterback Michael Vick is an emotional man this week.

Vick was named the next head coach at Norfolk State earlier this offseason.

Vick, an all-time college football great and no stranger to the spotlight, currently serves as an analyst on FOX’s NFL Kickoff show.

In his first show since taking the job with the Spartans, he teased some of the emotions we can expect to see on the sidelines next fall.

Four-time Pro Bowl quarterback Michael Vick will finish up the season at Fox before his new job begins in 2025, so his colleagues gave him a heartwarming sendoff this week that brought him to tears.

The emotions began to flow when host Charissa Thompson and analysts Charles Woodson and Julian Edelman surprised Vick by wearing Norfolk State hats.

“First off, just, being a big part of Fox Sports… I love you guys, I love everybody in this building. And this administration have been amazing to me,” Vick began. “This wasn’t easy, bittersweet, but when you got a chance to go, get an opportunity to go lead young men in your community, where I grew up, y’know, watching this team, and I wanted them to be assured that they wanted me as the head coach with no (prior coaching) experience. But I got what it takes, I got the right people around me, and I’m ready to embark on a new journey.”

Vick took the head coaching job at Norfolk State without previous head coaching experience.

Many may have questioned the decision to hire Vick as their next head coach, but his celebrity status could very well help change the program’s culture.

On Monday, Michael Vick will be announced as Norfolk State’s head football coach.

Michael Vick Has Nowhere To Go But Up When It Comes To His New Job

Michael Vick confirmed via a social media post that he’s will be Norfolk State’s head football coach.

He has nowhere to go but up since the team finished the season with a 4-8 record and a 2-3 mark in MEAC play.

The previous head coach’s overall record as the leader at Norfolk State was 15-31 while leading the Spartans football team.

The program hasn’t had a season above .500 since the 2021 season.

Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.

Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.

Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:

“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.

I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
