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.
Everyone Had The Same Complaint About FOX Announcer’s Ridiculous Comment During Eagles-Commanders Game

Football fans had the same annoying complaint about FOX Sports play-by-play commentator Joe Davis in the Washington Commanders’ thrilling 36-33 home win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
Joe Davis and Greg Olsen were on the call for a Game of the Year candidate inside Northwest Sadium. With just six seconds remaining, Jayden Daniels threw the game-winning touchdown strike to Jamison Crowder.
The three-point victory ended Philly’s 10-game winning streak and clinched Washington (10-5) their first season of double-digit victories since 2012. Moments after Daniels found Crowder, Davis screamed the word, “Preposterous”.
Fans, however, weren’t exactly thrilled with Davis’ performance in the broadcast booth. Some thought “preposterous” was the wrong word, since Eagles backup QB Kenny Pickett played most of the game with Jalen Hurts concussed:
“The worst part about watching today’s loss was having to listen to the commentators Greg Olsen and Joe Davis for 3 straight hours,” one fan wrote.
