He served as the head football coach at Canisius College from 2000 to 2002, compiling an overall record of 3–28 in three seasons.[1][2] His tenure at Canisius ended abruptly when the college discontinued its football team at the end of the 2002 season.[3] Argast was the interim head football coach at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine for one season, in 2021.

Argast returned to Bates College in 2020 as the offensive line coach for what would have been the cancelled 2020 NCAA Division III football season, before being promoted to interim head coach at Bates for the 2021 season.
