Norfolk State Coach Vick Confirms Staff Changes Ahead MEAC Opener

Norfolk State football head coach Michael Vick confirmed midseason changes to his coaching staff as the team prepares to begin MEAC conference play. Despite not specifying which coaches were let go, Vick emphasized the necessity of these adjustments to improve the team's performance and raise program standards amid a difficult 1-6 start. The Spartans have struggled defensively, ranking last in the conference in total defense and passing defense, while the offense has shown some promise, notably through quarterback Otto Khuns. Vick described the recent bye week as a timely opportunity to reset and refocus ahead of their homecoming game against defending MEAC champion South Carolina State. The coaching changes reflect Vick's commitment to accountability and his willingness to make tough decisions in pursuit of better results. Norfolk State aims to leverage these internal adjustments to spark a turnaround and redefine their season in front of a supportive home crowd.
