Tomlin became a pitching coach at the minor league level following the end of his playing career, working in the Montreal and Atlanta Braves organizations. He joined the Boston Red Sox in 1998 in a similar capacity, until 2006, when he was named manager of the Rookie-level Gulf Coast Red Sox of the Gulf Coast League and in 2008 began this third consecutive season in the job.
