He served two stints as the head football coach at Davidson College in Davidson, North Carolina, from 1970 to 1973 and 1990 to 1992, compiling a record of 22–45–1. In between his two tenures at Davidson, Fagg was an assistant coach at Georgia Tech, the University of Hawaii, the University of South Carolina, and the University of Arizona.[1][2]

In 1964, he moved on to The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina to serve in the same two roles for a year. Fagg returned to Davidson in 1965 when he was hired as an assistant on the staff of Homer Smith, who was newly hired as head football coach.[3]
