Fagan joins the Highlanders this year after spending the last four seasons with Division II Emmanuel where the Lions amassed a 121-96 record during his tenure. The Lions reached new heights in the program's history over that span, including their most overall wins, most conference wins, first-ever conference Player of the Year and first-ever NFCA All-American. They also reached a program-high ninth in the regional rankings.

Prior to Emmanuel, Fagan spent six seasons at the junior college level with the College of Central Florida. During his tenure, the Patriots never had a losing season. From 2014-2020, he coached the Patriots to several firsts, including first conference championship, first Region 8 championship, first national championship tournament appearance (2015-2nd, 2019-3rd), first national ranking in school history and first NJCAA No. 1 ranking in school history.

Prior to his time on the softball scene, Fagan was an accomplished football player at the collegiate and professional level. In 1983, he was a member of the Miami Hurricanes national championship team that won the Orange Bowl. After his collegiate career, he joined the San Francisco 49ers as a defensive end and was an integral part of the defense that helped win a pair of Super Bowls.

In November, Roanoke College announced that Bryan Stinespring will be the new head coach for the Maroons football program, which the school is rebuilding after a hiatus of more than 80 years. Stinespring, previously the associate head football coach and offensive assistant at Virginia Military Institute, brings more than 30 years of Virginia coaching experience to the role, including 26 years under legendary coach Frank Beamer at Virginia Tech.

Roanoke College hasn't had a football team since 1942, when it was forced to disband the program because of the constraints of World War II. This summer, Roanoke College announced it had raised $1.3 million to support the return of football and add co-curricular varsity cheerleading and marching band programs.
