As head coach from 2003 through 2016, McGuire went 141-42 and led the Longhorns to four state championship games, winning in 2006, 2013 and 2014 and finishing runner-up in 2012.

[7] After Dave Aranda was named Baylor's head coach on January 16, 2020, McGuire was retained as associate head coach and shifted to outside linebackers coach. [8] [9]
