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." |

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.

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.

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....
