During World War II, he served in a temporary capacity as the assistant football coach for the Naval pre-flight school on the University of Georgia campus. Following the war, he had short stints as a backfield coach for Iowa and the AAFC's Buffalo Bills.

In 1949, he returned to his hometown to coach football and direct the athletic programs at Mary D. Bradford High School.
