Mike Vick named head coach of Norfolk St

[nobody 2,615]

I never really thought of Vick as a head coach because my perception is clouded by the dog fighting stuff, but listening to him in interviews, he does seem like a bright and thoughtful person - penchant for dog fighting notwithstanding.

I never held the dog fighting against him. People make mistakes and the NFL in particular is filled with flawed people who have surrounded themselves with a crappy posse that gets them into trouble. He made his amends and has not done ANYTHING to get him on the radar of the press or the law. Good for him to find a job in football doing something he loves.

I thought the dog fighting punishment was way overblown, but it did make me question his judgement.
