In July 2008, the San Jose Sharks hired Woodcroft as an assistant coach under head coach Todd McLellan.

On April 20, 2015, the team announced that they had agreed to "part ways" with head coach Todd McLellan, assistant coaches Jim Johnson and Jay Woodcroft, as well as video coordinator Brett Heimlich.

On June 25, 2015, the Edmonton Oilers appointed Jay Woodcroft and Jim Johnson as assistant coaches, rejoining newly appointed head coach Todd McLellan in Edmonton.

On April 27, 2018, Woodcroft was appointed the head coach of the Bakersfield Condors, the Oilers' American Hockey League affiliate.
