This will be Jeff Fagan's 14th season as an assistant coach at Bethune-Cookman University, with this year being his second season as the A-Backs coach. Overall, this is his 19th season as a football coach, and it gets ever-more exciting to him each day he steps into his office.

Fagan is no stranger to the offensive side of the ball as he was a former All-State player in high school, and stellar athlete at Bethune-Cookman College. Fagan's coaching career, however, began like so many on the high school circuit.

From 1988-89, Jeff Fagan was an assistant coach with Seabreeze High School in the Daytona Beach area. He later worked his way over to local powerhouse Mainland High School where he served under head coach Doug Stanley and the Buccaneers program from 1990-94. While at Seabreeze and Mainland, Fagan was instrumental in helping the two dominant local programs to four (4) District titles, two (2) Regional titles and one (1) Central Florida Bowl Championship crown.

It may well be the knowledge of the offense as a former offensive lineman that keeps Fagan's ability to coach THE OL. at or near the top of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) year-in and year-out. His knowledge of the basic fundamentals, as well as his enthusiastic approach to the game compliments his commitment to head coach Alvin B. Wyatt, Sr. and the Wildcats program.

As a 1981 graduate of Bethune-Cookman College, Fagan believes in the one thing that every successful coach lives with every second of the game, "Calling the right play and making the right block is all that is needed for a drive to be successful." He has instilled in every one of his former B-Backs that a total commitment is needed to produce excellence on and off the field.

While at B-CC in his playing days, Fagan saw his action as an offensive lineman for the Wildcats from 1978-79. He later earned a degree in Physical Education. Prior to that, Fagan was a standout offensive lineman at Killian High School in his hometown of Miami, Florida.

Fagan arrived at Bethune-Cookman in the spring of 1994 as a football administrator, and he stills holds the day-to-day duties of the office in his current tenure at the school. Fagan's responsibilities not only include coaching the offensive line, but assisting with scheduling and arranging travel and practices while on the road.

Currently he is single, and has three children in the form of Jahmal (22), Emerson (19) and Cyrus (9). He lives in Daytona Beach.
