Then, he served under Nick Saban at Alabama in 2008 as a graduate assistant prior to picking up his master's degree in sports administration at FSU in 2009 while serving as a graduate assistant until 2010. 

Trickett went to Samford in 2011 as the tight ends and inside receivers coach, then was promoted to offensive coordinator the following season and acquired the same role at Florida Atlantic in 2016 and Georgia State the next two seasons before coming to Morgantown.
