From 1993 to 1996, he served as the defensive coordinator at the University of Sioux Falls.

In 1988, Underwood coached in an NCAA playoff game. In 1989, with Underwood as an assistant coach, the Vikings advanced to the NCAA playoffs, losing to St. Cloud State at Selke Field. A native of Marion, Iowa, Underwood has a bachelor’s degree in social sciences from Augustana College and a master’s degree in health, physical education, and recreation from the University of South Dakota.
