McGuigan went on to coach in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey state finals, co-founded the Patriot Wrestling Club, and worked with elite programs including the Dave Schultz Wrestling Club and Sunkist Kids. He currently serves as Chief Operating Officer of the Pennsylvania Regional Training Center and previously supported Beat the Streets Philadelphia as Grants Coordinator.

Beyond wrestling, McGuigan retired in 2022 after a distinguished 30-year career with Steamfitters Local Union 420, where he managed more than $100 million in mechanical construction projects across the Philadelphia region.
