# Norfolk State hires a Michael Vick staff member as women’s flag football coach

Norfolk State wasted little time in announcing the women’s flag football program’s first head coach, coming straight from Michael Vick’s staff. Veteran tight ends and offensive/defensive line coach [Darryl Bullock](https://nsuspartans.com/staff-directory/darryl-bullock/1413) was announced as head coach Thursday in a press conference officially launching the program.

Bullock was hired away from Hampton by Vick, continuing a coaching career that began as a grad assistant at the University of Michigan in 1991. Bullock was a defensive lineman at Penn State, where he was a member of the 1986 national championship team. After his playing days, he served in a variety of coaching roles, including interim head coach of North Carolina Central’s football team following the firing of Mose Rison. Bullock finished the 2010 season with a 1-4 record.
