High school coaching

After graduating from Appalachian State in 1996, Ivey coached the freshman offensive and defensive line at Port Charlotte High School in Florida. He spent the 1997 season at Cape Coral High School as an assistant, before going on to coach the offensive line and serve as the defensive coordinator at Gulf Coast High School. He was also the head coach at Cypress Lake High School and Barron G. Collier High School from 2002 to 2006 and 2007 to 2011, respectively. At Barron Collier, he compiled a 36–19 record, led them to state playoff appearances all five years of his tenure, and won three consecutive district championships from 2007 to 2009.
