"We are excited to have Craig lead our men's golf program," stated Indian Hills athletic director Michael Wetrich. "He brings a wide array of experience to IHCC with stops at the NJCAA, Division II and Division I level. We look forward to another great season from our men's golf team under Craig's leadership."
Sager joins the storied Indian Hills men's golf program following a two-year stint as the director of men's and women's golf operations at the University of Nebraska.

"I'm honored to be the new head men's golf coach at Indian Hills Community College," stated Sager. "I'm looking forward to building on the strong tradition of this program by developing great student-athletes who compete at a high level. I want to thank the coaches, players, and support staff at the University of Nebraska for the last two years, it was an amazing experience that helped prepare me for this opportunity. I'm grateful to Athletic Director Michael Wetrich and President Dr. Matt Thompson for trusting me with this role. I can't wait to get started with the Warriors."
Prior to his tenure at Nebraska, Sager spent four seasons as the head coach of the men's and women's golf programs at William Jewell College. During the 2024 campaign, the William Jewell men posted the program's best finish in school history at the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) tournament while leading the first-ever individual national qualifier.

The Pirates were also named the NJCAA Academic Team of the Year in 2018, producing the top overall team GPA.
