Sul Ross removes interim tag making Derickson officially head coach

Sul Ross State made what seemed inevitable official on Friday by removing the interim tag from head coach Barry Derickson following a 4-6 season. The Lobos 4-4 record in the American Southwest Conference was the first time SRSU finished with a .500 record or above since 2016.

"First of all, I'm very excited and blessed to be the head guy here,” Derickson said in a press release. “It's a credit to our staff and our players that have worked their tails off in the offseason — without that it wouldn't be possible,"
