Prior to his time in Seattle, McGuff was the head coach at Xavier University until April 2011.[2]

McGuff spent nine seasons at Xavier, compiling an overall record of 213–73, giving him the most wins of any Xavier women's coach. The Musketeers made the postseason in each of McGuff's seasons as head coach, with the last five being in the NCAA tournament. During this stretch, Xavier's best run was in 2010, when the Musketeers lost in the Elite Eight to Stanford.[4]
