Foxx worked as a minor league manager and coach after his playing days ended, including managing the [[Fort Wayne Daisies]] of the [[All-American Girls Professional Baseball League]] for one season in 1952.<ref name="Beast">{{cite web|url=http://www.aagpbl.org/index.cfm/profiles/foxx-james-e/689|title=James E. Foxx AAGPBL Player/Profile<!-- Bot generated title -->}}</ref> He took the team to the playoffs where they lost in the first round 2 games to 1 against the [[Rockford Peaches]]. The character of Jimmy Dugan in the 1992 movie ''[[A League of Their Own]]'', played broadly by [[Tom Hanks]], is loosely based on Foxx, though his players remember Foxx as having behaved significantly more gentlemanly to them, rather than the brusque manner Hanks showed his team. Foxx served as head coach for the [[University of Miami]] baseball team for two seasons, going 9–8 in 1956 and 11–12 in 1957, before being let go following the 1957 season.<ref name="sabr"/>

A series of bad investments left Foxx broke by 1958.<ref name="foxx" /> The Red Sox responded by naming Foxx hitting coach of their [[Triple-A (baseball)|Triple-A]] affiliate, the [[Minneapolis Millers]] of the [[American Association (20th century)|American Association]], that season.<ref name="Beast"/> In the early 1960s, he lived in [[Galesburg, Illinois]], where he was working as a greeter at a locally owned steakhouse. He eventually retired to suburban Cleveland in [[Lakewood, Ohio|Lakewood]] and was employed by the Lakewood Recreation Department. His two children, a daughter and a son, also lived in Lakewood. His son, Jimmie Foxx, Jr., played [[American football|football]] at [[Lakewood High School (Lakewood, Ohio)|Lakewood High School]] and [[Kent State University]].
