Michael Vick is the new head coach of Norfolk State football, and many people are excited about the former NFL quarterback's new journey. Jimmy Johnson and Andy Reid are the two latest people to show love to Vick and his coaching venture.

Johnson gave Vick advice as he's set to lead a group of young men.

“Recruit. Great players make great coaches,” Johnson said. “And to create the right kind of culture you need everybody in that organization… and how you do that, you have interaction with everybody in the organization. Because no one likes to be ignored. And especially no one likes to be ignored by the leader, and you're the leader now.”

Reid, Vick's former head coach when he played for the Philadelphia, shared his love for his former quarterback.
