McNeese State

In 2013, Guidry returned to his alma mater to become the defensive coordinator for the Cowboys. Guidry's presence was immediately felt as McNeese won 10 games for the first time six years and made the FCS playoffs for the first time in four years. In his third season, Guidry's defense ranked 12th nationally in total defense, 3rd in scoring defense and 4th in rushing defense - leading the way for McNeese's perfect regular season (10–0) and 2015 Southland Conference Championship.

After the 2015 season, head coach Matt Viator left McNeese to become head coach at Louisiana-Monroe and Guidry was named as the 15th head coach in McNeese State history. After three winning seasons, on November 20, 2018, it was announced that Guidry's contract would not be renewed.
