He is the assistant athletic director at Marian University in Indianapolis, a position he has held since December 2022. Henninger served as the head football coach at North Carolina Wesleyan College—now known as North Carolina Wesleyan University— Rocky Mount, North Carolina from 2008 to 2012 and at Marian from 2013 to 2022.
