Later that year, he joined the Jeremy Gunn's coaching staff at the University of North Carolina Charlotte. He remained an associate head coach through 2011, and following the team's run to the NCAA national championship, was promoted to top assistant head coach.[3]

On December 21, 2016, Gookins was hired by Stetson University to coach their men's soccer program.[4] In his first season in charge, Gookins was named ASUN Conference Coach of the Year.
