Prior to coaching at Texas A&M from 2013-15, Hagen coached at Indiana.
Here’s what he had to say about his time in College Station and his return to Indiana, according to the school’s press release:
“It’s exciting to be able to come back home again,” Hagen said. “These last three years have been fun. It’s something I felt like I had to do a few years back, but being a part of Coach Wilson’s program again and getting on board on the front end with Coach Allen is something I could not pass up. I’m looking forward to the challenge of coaching the entire defensive line and building a championship defense.”
