COACHES AND STAFF

Coach Mike Gravier became the program’s eighth coach when Bluefi eld College leaders announced him as the coach man who would restart the program that had been dormant since 1941 during a press conference, July 23, 2010.

“Hiring the right coach, someone who identi-fi es with the college’s mission and has a passion for transforming young men’s lives through the game of football, is critical to the success of this new program,” said BC presi-dent, Dr. David Olive. “I’m convinced we have found that person in Mike Gravier.”

Gravier helped launch a football program as an assistant coach and of-fensive coordinator at Malone University in Ohio in 1992. Three seasons later, he became the head coach of the young program, where during a four-year span he amassed a 30-12-1 win-loss record, three Mid-States Football Association Championships, a MSFA Coach of the Year honor, and two NAIA National Tournament bids. “Mike brings an excellent understanding of the game and effective coach-ing style to Bluefi eld football,” said BC’s athletic director, Pete Dryer. “In addition to his experience and success on the fi eld, we are excited to have a football coach with strong character, a passion to live out his faith in Jesus Christ, and a desire to serve and mentor student-athletes.”

Coach Gravier began his career with fi ve years of coaching at the high school level after playing football and earning his bachelor’s degree from Grand Valley State University in Michigan and while earning his master’s degree from Western Michigan University. He spent the next six years as an assistant coach at Kalamazoo College in Michigan, Western Michigan University, Southeast Missouri State Univer-sity, and Michigan Technological University, before beginning his six-year stint with Malone. He was called back to his alma mater to coach in 1998 and spent two additional seasons as a high school coach in Georgia before devoting his career in 2001 to faith-based ministries, including Christian Outreach In-ternational in Florida, where for three years he served as director of sports ministry. Today, while last serving as an assistant coach for football at Concord Uni-versity in Athens, West Virginia, Gravier is the director of OperationSHARE for Heaven Sent Ministries in Princeton, West Virginia, but now he is ready to turn his attention to Bluefi eld College. “I’m very excited and humbled,” said Gravier about the opportunity to lead the new BC football program. “It’s always an honor to be the fi rst person chosen to lead a football program. It’s a role I don’t take lightly, and I look forward to the challenge. We will play an exciting brand of football. We will play fast. We will be very aggressive, and I believe we will win.” Starting a new football program, Coach Gravier said, will be a special en-deavor. Like the players from 1941 who hold memories from the last game played, players on the new BC roster, he said, “will someday share stories about the fi rst touchdown scored, the fi rst win, or the fi rst championship.” Those fi rsts, he added, “are something only the new players can experi-ence.” Coach Gravier said in reviving BC football he wants the new players and

fans to remember why the program was dropped in 1942 and to honor the young men who joined the war effort and risked their lives to secure our freedom.

“We will use that past as part of our future,” said coach Gravier. “It is my desire to honor those former players in some way. If any are still living, I want them to visit and be a part of our team. If they are no longer with us, their families are always welcome.” Coach Gravier acknowledged that a new football team will, no doubt, boost the Greater Bluefi eld economy, offer an additional source for gridiron entertainment to an already football-hungry community, and give more local student-athletes an opportunity to continue their football careers at home in front of family and friends. But, the impact he’s look-ing forward to most is the one that will involve his players in community outreach.

In line with the Bluefi eld College mission, Coach Gravier said he hopes to develop players both academically and spiritually. In addition to what the student-athletes will gain in the classroom from professors, through a mentor program with leaders in the community the coach said he wants to develop the players’ career and leadership skills. The purpose, he said: to develop the whole player. “We want to show our players what it means to be a good football player, but also what it means to be a leader in the community, a good husband, and a good father,” said Gravier. “Football will be a small part of their col-lege experience, and hopefully the other things they learn that will carry with them through the good and bad times of life.”

COACH HAIRSTON

Coach Stacey Hairston came to the Bluefi eld College football program with an extensive pedigree of coaching at both the professional and collegiate level.

Hairston, who joined the BC staff as defen-sive coordinator, played collegiate football at Ohio Northern University, before being signed in 1989 as a free agent in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys. After a season with Dallas, Hairston spent the next two years, 1990-1992, in the Canadian Football League (CFL) as a defensive back and special teams player with the Saskatchewan Roughrid-

ers, before returning to the NFL to play defensive back and special teams for the Cleveland Browns, where was an integral part of the number one ranked defense in the NFL in 1994.

“Stacey has worked hard for everything he has,” said Coach Gravier. “As an NCAA Division III athlete trying to make it at the professional level, he had to work hard and be deter-mined. He approaches coaching the same way. He is deter-mined to help our guys be successful, to help them reach their full potential.”

Hairston began his coaching career as an assis-tant football coach at his alma mater, Ohio Northern University, where for seven seasons, 1996-2003, he coached defensive backs and special teams. In 2003, after a short stint as interim head coach, he was promoted to co-defensive coordinator and co-special teams coordi-nator, a position he held until 2008.

A member of the Black Coaches and Administrators Association, the Amer-ican Football Coaches Association and a former vice president of the NFL Players Association, Hairston became an assistant coach for the Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL in 2008, where he coached defensive backs until being called to Bluefi eld in the spring of 2010.

Coach Mike Compton joins the Bluefi eld Col-lege football program as an assistant coach in charge of the offensive line.

Compton, a Richlands, Virginia, native who played collegiate football at West Virginia University, where he was a three-year starter at center from 1990-1992, a two-time All-Big East Conference recipient in 1991 and 1992, and a consensus All-American in 1992.

While in college, Compton also won the Red Brown Cup Award as WVU’s most outstand-ing athlete in 1992 and the Ideal Mountain-

eer Award in 1990 and 1992.

“Coach Gravier has been charged with the task of starting a football pro-gram and bringing in the right people to get it going,” said Athletics Direc-

tor Pete Dryer. “He has brought in two individuals in Mike and Stacey that will assist in launching this program in the right direction.”

After college, Compton took his talent to the NFL, where he played as an offensive lineman eight years for the Detroit Lions, three years for the New England Patriots, and one year with the Jackson-ville Jaguars. During his time with the Patriots, Compton won two Super Bowl rings.

“Throughout Mike’s experiences in college and in the NFL, he’s learned how to prepare himself to be successful,” said Coach Gravier. “Having the career he’s had doesn’t just happen. It takes hard work. I know that Mike will do a great job using his experi-ences to mold our players into successful young men.”

Compton began his coaching career back home in Tazewell County as an assistant coach for football for

two seasons at Tazewell High School, where he was in charge of the offensive and defensive lines and the

punting unit. He left Tazewell in 2008 to become the head coach for foot-ball at Patrick Henry High School in Glade Spring, Virginia. There, he began to rebuild that program that had struggled for years.

Compton will help assist in building a quality offensive line for Bluefi ed College football and assist Coach Gravier and Hairston in other roles throughout the program.
