He served as the head football coach at California State University, Los Angeles—renamed from Los Angeles State College of Applied Arts and Sciences in 1963—from 1963 to 1965, compiling a record of 25–2. He later returned to Cal State L.A. in the role of athletic director in 1969 and ’70 when the university moved into the major college ranks as a founding member of the Pacific Coast Athletic Association.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://lagoldeneagles.com/hof.aspx?hof=89|title=Hall of Fame|website=Cal State LA Athletics|access-date=April 20, 2024}}</ref>

At the professional level, Beatty served as head coach of the Orange County Ramblers of the Continental Football League for the entirety of their two year existence. He led the club to back-to-back Pacific Division titles and was named COFL co-Coach of the Year in 1967.

Beatty died at the age of 84, on March 16, 2000, at St. Mary's Hospital in Long Beach, California.<ref>{{cite news |author= |title=Former L.A.
