[1][2] Fogel's first head coaching job came at Curry College, where he amassed a 33–40 record from 1976 to 1979.
In 1979, Fogel joined Jim Calhoun's staff at Northeastern, and was a part of five NCAA Tournament appearances, as well as six regular season conference titles before taking over the head coaching position when Calhoun left for Connecticut.
In the three seasons that followed, Fogel's record was 34–49 and was subsequently fired and replaced by Northeastern alum Dave Leitao.
After Northeastern, Fogel became the head coach at Mercyhurst, where he stayed until 2003, accumulating an overall record of 106–106.
Upon leaving coaching, Fogel became the athletic director at Westwood High School in Massachusetts, serving in the role until 2011 after being placed on administrative leave following an incident involving the firing of the school's track and field coach.
