Derby Panthers Head Coach Rumored to be Pursued by College Program
Derby Panthers head coach, Mike Tice, is reportedly being pursued by a major college program, sources close to the situation confirm. Tice has been at the helm of the Panthers since 2018, leading the team to a 44-24 record over the past five seasons, including a 10-2 mark in 2024. If Tice were to depart, it would be a significant loss for the program, as he has been instrumental in recruiting top talent to Derby. The Panthers have consistently ranked among the top 10 in the state in recruiting rankings, with several players earning Division I scholarships under Tice's guidance. The college program, which has not been named, is believed to be offering Tice a significant contract to join their staff as a defensive coordinator.
