He was most recently the head coach of the Georgia State Panthers baseball team since the start of the 2007 season until the end of the 2019 season. He also served as general manager of the German National team. Frady was the head coach at North Florida Community College from 1990–1996. Before serving as North Florida Community College head coach, Frady played for Troy from 1984–1987. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Columbus State University. From 1997–2003, he served as an assistant at Central Florida before being hired as an assistant coach at Georgia State in 2004. He became general manager for the German national team in 2004 and head coach at Georgia State in 2007. In July, 2020, he was named the first Head Coach of the Nanaimo NightOwls of the West Coast League, signed to a five-year contract to lead the team at historic Serauxmen Stadium. The 2021 season, to be the debut of the NightOwls with Frady at the helm, was cancelled due to the pandemic.
