The Atlanta Falcons may see one of their most legendary players pick up the clipboard and try his hand at coaching.  Michael Vick is still one of the most electric quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL.  His knowledge of the game is certainly extensive.

However, could he be a successful coach?  We might find out.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter:

Sacramento State is in discussions to hire former Pro-Bowl QB Mike Vick as its new head coach, per sources.

Sacramento State plans to move up to FBS, is building a new stadium and has over $50 million in NIL. Sacramento State would build an experienced coaching staff around Vick that is inline with the new frontier of college football.

Michael Vick already has told The Virginian-Pilot that he has spoken with Norfolk State officials about that job.

Here is a look at Vick’s stats:
