Coaching career

[edit]

Sul Ross

[edit]

Derickson was hired as the offensive coordinator at Sul Ross just before the start of the 2021 season after the Lobos' incumbent OC, Kevin Canty, passed away at age 37 due to complications from COVID-19.[7][8]

Following the 2021 season, Sul Ross head coach John Pearce announced that he was resigning on November 30.[9] Following Pearce's resignation, Derickson was named the Lobos' interim head coach.[10] Derickson lead the 2022 team under the interim tag for the entire season before being named the program's full-time head coach on November 18, 2022.[11]

Prior to the 2023 season, Derickson was named to Dave Campbell's Texas Football "40 Coaches under 40" list.[12] The 2023 season was the last the Lobos competed in the American Southwest Conference as the program began its transition period from NCAA Division III to Division II.[13][14]

The Lobos competed in the 2024 season as a member of the Lone Star Conference at the Division II level.[15][16] After leading the Lobos through their inaugural season in Division II, Derickson announced that he was resigning on December 2, 2024; Derickson finished his career at Sul Ross with an overall record of 11–20.[17]
