He retired as a player during the 1973 season and began coaching in the Texas Rangers farm system in 1975. He was the Rangers' major league pitching coach from 1983 to midseason 1985 under Doug Rader. From 1986 through 2001 he was pitching coach of the Minnesota Twins under Ray Miller and Tom Kelly, a stretch that included the 1987 and 1991 World Series championships.
