Haege set an AFL record for best turnaround of an AFL team. He took over a 2–12 (2001) team and lead them to a record of 9–5 in 2002. The 2002 Gladiators also made it to the second round of the AFL playoffs. The Gladiators went 8–8 and made the playoffs in 2003. They also went 8–8 in 2004.

Haege spent four years as an assistant football coach at NCAA Division II Bemidji State University from 1992 to 1995, and was the offensive coordinator from 1996 to 1998 at Augsburg in Minneapolis.
