In 2013, Maloney joined the staff of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) as defensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator. [4] Historically an offensive-minded coach, within two years Maloney built a defensive unit that ranked 13th in total defense nationally. [5]

His 2019 Augustana ToughGuy defense repeated success, like the RPI ones by earning 5 national rankings in the DIII's Top 30.
