Coghlin returned to Stevens Point in 1992 as an assistant hockey coach. He was part of the coaching staff on the Stevens Point teams that won the national title in 1993 and finished as the runner-up in 1992. Since 1994, he has been the head hockey coach at the St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wisconsin. Coghlin recalled the lack of talent when he arrived at St. Norbert, "When I came to St. Norbert, they weren't actively recruiting the same type of hockey players that other schools in the state were. We went immediately into western Canada and brought some kids in." Despite coaching at a private Catholic institution serving 2,100 students, Coghlin had success attracting quality players from Canada and Europe.
Coghlin led the St. Norbert Green Knights to their first national championship in 2008, winning both Frozen Four games by shutouts. St. Norbert finished the 2008 season with a record of 27–1–4, the fewest losses ever for an NCAA Division III men's ice hockey champion. Coghlin was named NCAA Division III Coach of the Year in 2008. Coghlin also led his team to the Frozen Four in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2010. In 17 years as a head coach, Coghlin compiled a record of 365 wins, 104 losses, and 39 ties. At the end of the 2009-2010 hockey season, Coghlin ranked 41st all-time among college men's ice hockey coaches. Among the 100 all-time winningest college men's ice hockey coaches, Coghlin ranks second in winning percentage at .757.
