Charlie Dickey Joins Oklahoma State Football Staff
February 13, 2019 | Cowboy Football
STILLWATER – Mike Gundy announced the addition of Charlie Dickey as offensive line coach at Oklahoma State.
A 31-year coaching veteran, Dickey comes to Stillwater after coaching offensive line for 10 years under Bill Snyder at Kansas State. Dickey was an original member of Snyder's staff upon his return in 2009. He was promoted to run game coordinator prior to the 2016 season and was promoted to co-offensive coordinator in advance of the 2018 season.
With Dickey serving as the leader of the offensive line, K-State's offensive identity throughout his time in Manhattan centered around physical play up front. During his 10 years with the Wildcats, K-State offensive linemen picked up three All-America honors and 23 All-Big 12 honors, including 11 first-team accolades.
Dickey was part of a K-State coaching staff that led the Wildcats to the 2012 Big 12 title. His offensive line paved the way for quarterback Collin Klein to be a Heisman Trophy finalist that season. Dickey's line helped K-State finish fourth in the Big 12 in rushing offense and second in the league in fewest sacks allowed. Four of Dickey's five regular starters in 2012 earned all-conference honors.
In each of Dickey's final three seasons in Manhattan, K-State ranked in the top four in the Big 12 in rushing offense, despite playing far fewer snaps than other teams in the league who utilized up-tempo schemes.
Under Dickey, K-State's B.J. Finney was an All-American in 2014 and Dalton Risner was a two-time All-American in 2017 and 2018.
During the 2018 NFL season, Dickey saw three of his former K-State pupils on active rosters - B.J. Finney with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cornelius Lucas with the Los Angeles Rams and Cody Whitehair with the Chicago Bears. Additionally, Tavon Rooks was a draft pick of the New Orleans Saints in 2014.
Dickey came to K-State after capping his fourth year at Utah with an undefeated 13-0 campaign and a win over No. 4 Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. Dickey was instrumental in Utah's success on offense when he took charge of the offensive line in 2005 and his position was regarded as a Ute stronghold from that day on. In 2006, the Utes were the last team in the country to allow a sack – going six games before anyone got to the quarterback.
In 2008, offensive tackle Zane Beadles and guard Robert Conley were First Team All-Mountain West Conference selections under Dickey and protected and paved the way for quarterback Brian Johnson, the 2008 MWC Offensive Player of the Year and Sugar Bowl Most Outstanding Player.
During his time at Utah, Dickey coached four first team all-conference players in center Jesse Boone (2005), tackles Tavo Tupola (2006) and Beadles (2008) and guard Conley (2008). In 2007, both Beadles and Conley won second-team honors for the Utes.
Dickey coached in the Pac-10 for 13 years before heading to Utah, spending 12 years at his alma mater, Arizona, and one season at Washington. At Arizona, he coached the offensive line from 1992-2002 and the tight ends in 2003. In 2004, Dickey went to Washington as the Huskies' offensive line coach.
While at Arizona, Dickey developed first team all-conference linemen Warner Smith (1994) and Yusuf Scott (1998). Scott won the 1998 Morris Trophy, which is presented to the league's outstanding offensive lineman.
Dickey began his coaching career after playing one season for the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 1987 NFL strike. In 1988, he worked at Arizona as a graduate assistant coach before tutoring the offensive line at Scottsdale Community College in 1989 and at Northern Arizona from 1990-91.
In his playing days, Dickey started at offensive guard at Arizona from 1983-84 – compiling a streak of 1,230 consecutive offensive plays, including all 840 offensive plays of the 1983 season. He was named a Second Team All-Pac-10 performer in 1984 and was Arizona's Offensive Most Valuable Player. Before going to Arizona, he completed an all-conference community-college career at Scottsdale Community College.
