Hickey resumed his playing career and went to the Netherlands , where he worked as a player-coach for the The Hague Raiders in 1988 and 1989. In 1990 at the Amsterdam Crusaders , he worked exclusively as a coach, supervised the quarterbacks there and was responsible for coordinating the team's attacking game.

In 1994 Hickey was part of the coaching staff of the Munich Thunder team , which competed in the Football League of Europe , and also took over organizational activities there. He returned to the Munich Cowboys, whom he led into the quarter-finals as head coach in the football Bundesliga in 1995 and 1996, from which they were eliminated in both years.

In the 1997 season he was an assistant coach at the Hamburg Blue Devils in the positions of quarterback and wide receiver and in this way contributed to Hamburg winning the Eurobowl at the end of June 1997 . He then moved to the administration of NFL Europe , where he was responsible for football development. Hickey held this position until 2000. Partly at the same time (1997 to 1999) he was a member of the coaching team of the German national team and in this position was responsible for the coordination of the attacking game and the support of the quarterback and wide receiver positions.

In the run-up to the 2008 season, he took up the post of head coach at the regional league team Leipzig Lions and remained in office until November 2009. In the spring of 2008, Hickey founded an event agency with which, in addition to his duties as a football  coach, he also worked in the logistics sector during the 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin .

In mid-February 2010 he returned to the Munich Cowboys and thus to the top German league. He became head coach in Munich. From January 2011 he was also active again for the German national team and was responsible for the quarterbacks on the coaching staff (including at the 2011 World Cup). Hickey left the Munich Cowboys in early August 2011 to accept an offer from league competitor Braunschweig Lions to become head coach and managing director there. At the beginning of November 2012, Hickey and the Braunschweig team parted ways after he had reached sixth place in the GFL North Relay in the 2012 season with the Lower Saxony team.

Hickey was introduced at the end of December 2012 as the new head coach of the second division Rostock Griffins  . He stayed in Rostock for a year.
