In February 2006, Fewing announced his resignation from the Redhawks after 18 seasons as head coach, due to a disagreement with the university's athletic director over payments for assistant coaches and other issues.[18][19] The athletic director resigned a month later, but Fewing declined to return to the program and was replaced by Brad Agoos.[20][21] Fewing devoted more time to his youth soccer camps, including the development of a new youth soccer facility in North Bend that attracted controversy due to alleged preferential treatment by the county government.[22]

Fewing was hired in November 2009 as the head coach of the Kitsap Pumas of the Premier Development League on a two-season contract.[3] In his two seasons with the Pumas, he led the team to a 32–6–5 record and won the league championship in 2011.[1] The Pumas also reached the third round of the U.S. Open Cup, where the team lost to the Sounders—his other employer.[26][27] During the Open Cup match, Fewing prepared materials for the broadcasting team but did not participate in commentary.[28] Fewing declined to continue as coach of the Pumas due to the commute and his broadcasting duties.[29]
Fewing returned to the Redhawks in 2012 after reconciling with the team after their dispute over paying of assistant coaches.[18] The team won its first Division I title in 2013 and has enjoyed several successful seasons since his return.[30][31] Fewing earned his 300th win as head coach at the collegiate level in October 2018.[32] Fewing was awarded a Golden Scarf by the Sounders in 2010 and was inducted into the Washington Youth Soccer Hall of Fame in 2019.[33][34] He stepped down as head coach in April 2023 and became the associate athlteic director for special projects at Seattle University.[35]
