In 2024, McGuire coached a position group that included Nate Robinson Jr., who was named an FCS Freshman All-American by Phil Steele Publications, and was an Honorable Mention All-PFL selection. Cornerback Austin Trimble was also named Honorable Mention All-PFL.

McGuire came to Marist after two seasons of coaching defensive backs at Central Oklahoma, where he was also the program’s academic liaison. In 2022, the Bronchos had three All-MIAA selections, including defensive backs Kobey Stephens and Dylan Buchheit, and had the program’s first winning season since 2018.
 
McGuire was a graduate assistant (2020) and defensive analyst (2021) at TCU, where he assisted with recruiting and a Horned Frogs’ secondary that placed four players in the NFL. McGuire coached the secondary and assisted with special teams at Trinity from 2017-19, and he helped lead the Tigers to a conference championship in 2019.
 
McGuire participated in Bill Walsh Fellowships with the Minnesota Vikings in 2019 and Carolina Panthers in 2022.
