Quigley served for one season as the head coach at Lyon College (then known as Arkansas College) in 1915.[2]

During the 1916 football season, Quigley coached at Little Rock College, a Catholic school in Little Rock, Arkansas. At a time when anti-Catholic sentiment was high in Arkansas, the team faced stern challenges, notably following a win against Arkansas Tech in which irate fans harassed the team on their trip back to the train station.[3]

From 1919 to 1920, Quigley served as the head coach at Kansas Wesleyan University, posting a record of 3–10–3.[4]

Quigley died in 1956 in a hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas after a serious illness of a month. He was the brother of Ernest C. Quigley.[5]
