1977 Profile: Mike Hickey

Director of Player Personnel
"The youngest director of player personnel in the NFL at 30, Hickey replaced Mike Holovak in May. He had been personnel assistant for the Patriots under Bucko Kilroy for the past six years. His father, Red Hickey, was head coach of the 49ers from 1959-63 and has been a scout with the Cowboys since 1965.
Mike played under three present NFL coaches: Dick Vermeil (high school in San Mateo, CA), John Madden (San Diego State) and Don Coryell (San Diego State). He went to Texas on a track scholarship and won the Southwest Conference discus title in 1965. He transferred to San Diego State, where he was a reserve tight end before a knee injury ended his career.
Mike was born in Santa Monica, CA."
