Vick Chooses Eagles Over JMU Job
Posted on 8/14/2009 by Jeremy Aldrich
HARRISONBURG - JMU head football coach Mackey Mitthews expressed disappointment late yesterday that Michael Vick has signed a contract to play with the Philadelphia Eagles. Mitthews revealed that he had secretly been in "serious negotiations" with Vick to come on as an assistant football coach, but the deal fell through when the more lucrative return to the NFL came along.
Vick was barred from playing professional football in 2007 after pleading guilty to involvement in a dog-fighting ring, but Mitthews says that didn't bother him much. "The JMU football program is a second-chance kind of place," he says.
Mitthews adds, "Without saying too much, we already had a bunch of promotional ideas involving Vick and the Duke Dog. Vick had some real funny ideas, but I guess we're not going to be able to use them now."
