Pretty different circumstances. 

Just taking exception, and perhaps trolling a bit, with the latter half of your statement to say he didn't play 4 years at Ohio due to not being any good.

I would say he's a pretty glaring exception, but point taken.

In an otherwise pretty quiet carousel year, Wake Forest just opened up. Dave Clawson resigned.

Yes. I'm from the area (well, I'm actually from NW Indiana, but have lived here for 20-plus years) -- that's why I found this so interesting. 

Norfolk State is an HBCU that put together a decent run a few years back -- won their conference and made the FCS playoffs. Even have a pretty nice little stadium -- seats 30,000 or so, but nobody ever goes. NSU football on its own doesn't move the needle. Hasn't for years. But Michael Vick coaching them -- that would. 

And just like that, apparently Sacramento State is circling and trying to close a deal. Other than Norfolk being home, Sac State is probably more attractive. Huge financial commitments along with moving up to FBS soon. Will be a tough job because of that too.

Yep -- just saw that. 

We'll see just how committed he is to "giving back to the community" -- which apparently, was a big reason he had interest in NSU.

Looks like Vick to Norfolk State is happening. 

Should be interesting to say the least ...

Kinda crazy that the same school probably wouldn’t hire a guy who was convicted of insider trading.

Jake Dickert to Wake Forest. Kind of an out of nowhere move, but assumed he wasn’t long for Wazzu. He’s a really good coach.

A Trojans Wire article on Purdoo's new offensive coordinator. Apparently new Purdump OC Henson was the O-line coach at USC and was... okay. And that was with top 500 recruits and Riley calling the plays. Now 'okay O-line coach Henson' will be calling the plays for Puredoo. The article's headline:

"USC football receives great news as Josh Henson leaves coaching staff"

Norfolk State, an HBCU, officially names Michael Vick as head coach. 

Have no idea how he'll do -- but a program that's been irrelevant for years gains a little relevance.

Should make Saturdays in the fall a little more interesting around here.

I keep almost saying, “really, Michael Vick leading and teaching young men”??? Then the line from The Office comes into my head, “hey, hey, hey….. Vick did his time.” IYKYK.
