Michael Vick - Chiefs QB Coaching Intern
 

Mike Vick working as coaching intern with Chiefs

In June, Mike Vick said he wanted to one day coach in the NFL. Now one of his former coaches is providing him a baby step toward that goal.

Vick is spending training camp as an intern with Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Vick spent four seasons with Reid and the Philadelphia Eagles, from 2009-2012, after the quarterback was released from prison following his role in running a dog-fighting ring.

One of the most gifted athletes in NFL history, Vick said in June he believes he could bring a different perspective to coaching.

"I think my heart is really into teaching, you know, the game of football," Vick told ESPN's Adam Schefter at the time. "I feel like I've learned so much from so many great coaches over the years. You know, I don't want to bottle up a lot of knowledge, and [I] really can't relay the messages that I want to relay to a high school kid because ... you don't have to dumb it down, but you can't be as complex. And I get that.

"So [at the] collegiate level or professional level, you can express ideas. You can go into detail. You know you can coach hard, and that's what I want to do."

Remember, this is the same guy who admitted to not bothering to learn the Jets playbook.

I hope he doesn't keep Patrick on a short leash leading him around the field.

I mean just another guy for Mahomes to learn from.

Can't hurt :shrug:

Maybe he'll tell Mahomes to cut his hair.

What up dawg?

This will not go over well with the doggy community in KC.

Seriously.........what the hell are they thinking. Vick is a dumbass who couldn't read a defense worth a shit. Coaching?

This...

Meh....it's an intern position.

And, i am sure the doggie community won't even be fazed.

The whole dog fighting culture is evil in my book. Don't care if he is a chiefs intern **** him.

It was given to him out of sympathy, really.

I think it's kind of cool and who gives a **** if a guy is trying make a life for himself?



He is an intern so it's not direct coaching until he learns how to coach.


If people don't make this a big deal it's not.

As will be the case when Alex Smith is gifted with a "coaching internship" in two years.

Reid, Childress, Nagy, Kafka, Alex, Vick

That's a really nice group of mentors that should bring a lot of different perspectives.

I wonder about guys who were freaks that become coaches. Can they really coach a guy who doesn't have the same skill set? I envision Vick saying, "Run faster" or Favre saying, "Throw harder", or Barry Sanders saying, "Dodge that guy". That advice doesn't work for most people.

That's exactly what we should be afraid of.

Single file line to apologize and kiss my ass please.

He picked up Reid's offense pretty quick.

Agreed.

You bastard.

Meh, he's a coaching intern, which means he's there to learn how to coach from the other coaches. Reid has always praised him, so he must have done something right in Philly. And if a sucky QB like Mike Kafka can be a coach, I'm sure that Vick can coach, as long as he's actually willing to put in the work.

That's the thing I wonder with most successful guys who made millions in their career, do they have the drive to study film and work the long hours, or do they want to hop in, give a few pointers, then head off to relax or make millions as a talking head on TV?

I actually love this hire. He has some unique insight on running around like a chicken with your head cut off in the pros, which is a big part of Mahomes' game.

:D I really really can't stand Vick.

LMAO

Probably just there to fetch Andy's numerous snacks.

This goes on every year. Chiefs had 6 former players intern last year. No biggie.

You'd think Michael Vick would want to get as far away from Leavenworth as possible. St. Joe ain't that far away....

I told you guys!

No ,he doesn't . How the **** do you have insight in to running around as a QB. You just run so you don't get sacked. Then you keep your eyes downfield and hit Tyreek. Mahomes already knows that! Geez ! If Vick has ANY influence on Mahomy it will make him regress. He just needs to WATCH smith and listen to Reid and Nagy. **** Vick.

Ron Mexico all up in this joint!

I wonder if Ron Mexico was brought in to help Bray with his mobility?

Some are convinced he will hold onto that #2 spot all year.

Cant be the worst training camp staffer that Andy's ever had. His son was shooting up in the dorms.

It's one of my faves, I don't know why but it cracks me up every time.

I don't want Vick around the guy who's hands I just put the future of the franchise in. First QB taken in the first round in 30 years, we gave two picks for him, he just got a ton of money and will have a lot of time on his hands because we won't be dressing him, and we hire Vick to coach him? This is stupid. I have been a big Reid supporter but this is flat out idiotic. Vick is a liability.

Black Jesuit?

Wonder how players who have dogs are gonna feel about this frekin tool

You're thinking of Blackop

Godamnit

There goes what little hope I had for Mahomes

Mike Vick will be a great mentor, just ask Geno Smith.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d...i-studied-more

Great cerebral coach and mentor for Mahomes.

Unfortunate, we shoulda got AI to help practice efficiency

LMAO you've been on a jelly roll lately

Bark! Bark!

different senario. One is a guy who is trying to take your job and you are team mates. the other is he's a coach and he's following a plan that Reid tells them too.

If I was Vick i'd look into barber college.

I actually HATE this hire. Don't care if it's "only as an intern" or "only for training camp". He's a shit bag who murdered dogs. I'd expect this from Oakland, or Cincinnatti, or some other thug organization. As long as Vick is associated with the Chiefs, piss on Andy Reid, Clark Hunt, and the entire organization.

Can he just be our 3rd string QB too?

I hate dogs.

He paid his dues to society move the **** on

Then you have a character flaw.

Vick can bring our Franchise QB water during these hot dog days of summer in KC...

Im sure Mahomes will appreciate it.

Alex Smith has more wins, more TD's, less INT's and a better completion percentage in two less seasons than Vick.

Keep drinking.

:shake:

You're just noticing, now?

Dont really care.... Absolutely has zero to do with Vick bringing the Franchise QB water during training camp...

I dont care one way or the other. Unfortunately I dont think this has much to being a mentor, but more of Andy helping out a friend.

Well, I guess I should say, I would hate owning a dog. They seem like nice guys, they would just be a nightmare to own. Walk them every day, let them out to shit x amount a day, can't leave them alone. They shit on the floor, always jump on your and lick things. It's like having a little kid.

I have 3 Aussies, all outside dogs and are a blast to own...

I think I wouldn't mind having a greyhound. I hear they don't lick very much.

Maybe you need to be licked and this is the problem.

Do you like peanut butter? I heard that is what you guys do, with your dogs. NTTAWWT. Well, I guess there is.

Aussies lick. Don't get an Aussie.

Lol this is where you draw the line?

Blast to own? Let's not over state.

Lol why not? They are very entertaining...

The Chiefs organization is an off season frekin train wreck-

What is he going to learn?
Vick never learned, evolved to play from the pocket.
He didn't run as much under Reid, but he never became a guy that could go through progressions.
One read, check down or run was the game plan.

I don't see how he helps Doc Mahomes.

He did his time and has, by all accounts, been a model citizen since.

One or two reads, checkdown or run is basically Reid's game plan. Reads in his offense are done presnap


And just because a player plays a certain way doesn't mean that's how they're going to coach. Otherwise the only coaches that really deserve to have jobs are Al Harris and Emmitt Thomas

Yall want to say this is a terrible hire, oh I don't want a dog beater. But no one cares how Tyreek Hill is doing after his season and he was a wife beater

Did he beat your wife?

No but he beat his pregnant girlfriend

I always was under the impression the offense with Pat would look much more like the days when Vick was running it opposed to how it is current day with Alex. Plenty more jet screens and playactions going deep. I'm here for it.

why do you think i moved down under? oh, wait, you are talking about dogs. :D

:clap:

So he beat his girlfriend and his wife?
