Michael Vick becoming the head coach at Norfolk State is a move that caught many by surprise.
The former NFL star’s unexpected move into coaching has garnered significant support across the football community, with none other than Deion Sanders leading the chorus of approval.
At Monday morning’s press conference, Vick officially stepped into his new role, joining a growing list of NFL legends taking the helm at historically black colleges and universities.
Deion Sanders didn’t waste time showing his support for Vick.
Taking to X, Sanders penned a heartfelt message that emphasized Vick’s potential impact:
“Let’s go baby! We’ve got to support, encourage, assist & show consistent Love to Coach Vick! He’s forever changed to QB position in CFB, NFL, & he will have tremendous impact on Coaching & Leading men to their true destinations. Love ya my brother.”

The praise carries extra weight coming from Sanders, considering Vick’s revolutionary impact on football.
As a dual-threat quarterback, Vick transformed the position, paving the way for stars like Cam Newton and Lamar Jackson. Now, he has the chance to bring that same innovative spirit to Norfolk State.
Behind the scenes, Vick sought guidance from Coach Prime before accepting the position.
According to Bleacher Report, Sanders told Vick, “You might as well get into coaching now” and “I don’t know what you’re waiting for.”
Vick faces significant challenges ahead at Norfolk State, where the football program continues to search for stability in the MEAC.
However, armed with his NFL experience and Sanders’ mentorship, Vick appears ready to build something special.
