Michael Vick’s Fox NFL Sunday future in doubt after taking up huge new career venture

Open on The Sun

Michael Vick has accepted a head coaching position at Norfolk State University, marking a significant career change from his role as an NFL analyst at Fox Sports. Vick takes over after the firing of former head coach Dawson Odums, who had a 15-30 record over four years. This move is surprising as Vick was in discussions with Sacramento State for their coaching vacancy. Norfolk State's proximity to Vick's hometown in Virginia may have influenced his decision. Vick's new role likely means he will leave his duties at Fox Sports, although he may still make remote appearances. Football fans are eager to see how Vick will perform in college coaching.
