North Carolina State
In April 1927, Slaughter was hired as an assistant football coach at North Carolina State College. He was an assistant coach at North Carolina State under Gus Tebell. During the 1927 season, Slaughter handled the linemen, while Tebell worked with the backfield players.
In 1928, Slaughter was hired as the line coach at Michigan State University but failed to report for the job. When the Spartan squad assembled for practice on September 10, 1928, Slaughter was not on hand. Coach Harry Kipke gave him the benefit of the doubt, assuming the Spartans used the same early practice date as the Big Ten, September 15. When Slaughter failed to arrive on that date, Kipke sent him several telegrams but received no response. North Carolina State announced on September 20, 1928 that Slaughter had been retained for another year as its line coach. Slaughter continued serving as line coach for the North Carolina State Wolfpack through the 1930 football season.

And act that state is only so conceived,

For house where phantoms may keep warm.”
