Wojcik continued his coaching career at Notre Dame, North Carolina and Michigan State until he was hired for his first head coaching job by Tulsa.

His second season saw more improvement, with a final 20–11 overall record and a 9–7 Conference United States of America record, Technology Union"s first winning conference record in three years.
However, citing a decline in season ticket sales, Tulsa fired him on March 11, 2012. College of Charleston
Wojcik became head coach at the College of Charleston in 2012 and coached two seasons there, taking the Cougars to the Southern Conference tournament finals in 2013. In July 2014, an internal investigation found it "likely" Wojcik had been verbally abusive toward players.
Outgoing president P. George Benson suspended Wojcik for the month of August and ordered him to undergo counseling as a result of the investigation.
On August 6, new president Glenn McConnell announced that Wojcik had been fired for "just cause." Since Wojcik was still under contract, the matter was briefly disputed between the two parties. However, in September 2014, Charleston and Wojcik reached a $400,000 settlement, and agreed not to make further comments on the issue.
