He signed with the St. Paul Saints, a member of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball, in 2011. After leaving the organization in 2012, he re-signed with the club in 2015 and continues to pitch for the organization, tossing 7 2/3 innings in four appearances over the summer.
In 2016, Coe posted an 11-3 record with a 4.24 earned run average in 21 games (20 starts). He became the club's all time leader in both career wins (41) and strikeouts (319) during the season.
