New Norfolk State coach Michael Vick has begun to open up why he decided to pursue the profession despite lacking experience.
On Sunday, during an NFL pregame show on FOX, Vick — hired by NSU — Friday went into detail about his motivation and what it now means to be an HBCU football coach in his hometown.
“When you got a chance to go lead young men in your community, where I grew up watching this team…I got what it takes.”
