During his 19-year tenure as head football coach, he led the Queen's Golden Gaels to 16 consecutive OQIFC playoff appearances, winning 9 of 13 league championship games and posting two undefeated seasons.[1] Under Coach Hargreaves, the Gaels appeared in three National Championship games, winning the Vanier Cup twice, in 1978 and 1992.
