# Michael Vick has goal of ‘going Power Five’ as a football coach

Before Michael Vick even takes the sidelines as football coach at Norfolk State, he already has his sights set on a bigger goal. In an appearance on the [I Am Athlete podcast,](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od4YhY93CwU&t=3505s) Vick, who was hired at NSU in December, revealed what his long-term plans in coaching are. “I see myself potentially going to a Power Five one day,” he said. “That’s the goal. Anything I get myself involved in, I’m always going to look into the future and where I can take it or where I can go. Or, where we can go. Because it’s a team effort and I have to have a great staff around me.”
