Dickey was the starting quarterback at KSU for all four seasons he was there. In 1979, he established the school record for passing yards by a freshman, a record that stood until 2005. He concluded his collegiate career in 1982 by leading the Wildcats to the school's first bowl appearance in its 87 year history. He left Manhattan ranked second all-time in pass completions, yards passing, touchdown passes, and total offense. He remains only player in Kansas State history to lead the school in passing yards and total offense for four consecutive seasons. He signed free agent contracts in 1983 and 1984 with the Seattle Seahawks and New Orleans Saints respectively.

Dickey served as a graduate assistant under Jackie Sherrill at Texas A&M in 1985. In 1986 he was hired by Charlie Bailey to serve as tight ends coach in 1986. The next season he coached the running backs, and the year after that he was appointed offensive coordinator.
In 1991 Dickey became tight ends coach at Louisiana State, where he served until 1993, before rejoining Bailey as offensive coordinator at UTEP. In 1997, he served as offensive coordinator under Mike Cavan.
