# Michael Vick Norfolk State contract has been revealed. How much he’s being paid

Michael Vick’s contract as head football coach of Norfolk State has a few interesting notes and caveats included within, [according to a report by Jami Frankenberry of the Virginian-Pilot](https://www.pilotonline.com/2025/01/14/michael-vick-contract-details/). Vick, [who was hired last month to replace Dawson Odums as the Spartans’ football leader](https://hbcusports.com/2024/12/20/michael-vick-hire-to-norfolk-state-is-official-im-blessed-and-humbled/), will make $400,000 annually, according to a FOIA request granted to the Virginian-Pilot. The contract includes bonuses for MEAC championships ($10,000) and FCS playoff wins ($15,000), as well as a coach of the year bonus between $2,500 and $5,000.

Vick’s $400,000 annual salary is $160,000 more than what Odums signed for in 2021. Comparatively, Vick will be compensated a little less than the highest-paid FCS coach in Virginia, William & Mary head coach Mike London ($409,991). Vick will also receive an automatic one-year extension if Norfolk State finishes in the top half of the MEAC standings in his third season, according to language in the contract. Vick will also be provided a “full-size sport utility vehicle.”
