Staggs then followed former Charleston Southern offensive coordinator Jamey Chadwell to North Greenville, where he would spend three years as the Crusaders' defensive coordinator (the final with the additional title of assistant head coach) and then to Delta State, where he spent one year as their defensive coordinator, before returning to the Division I ranks.[3] When Chadwell was hired as Charleston Southern's head coach to begin the 2013 season, Staggs followed as his defensive coordinator.[1] When Chadwell was suspended for one game during the 2016 season, Staggs filled his spot on the sidelines.[4] After four seasons in his second stint in North Charleston, Staggs took an offer at Furman, where he served as the Paladins' defensive coordinator and safeties coach for two seasons.[5]
In 2019, Staggs was hired again by Chadwell, now the head coach at Coastal Carolina, to serve as his defensive coordinator and linebackers coach.[2] In 2021, he was put in charge of the safeties at Coastal Carolina, while still serving as the defensive coordinator.[3]
