Kind of unusual for a SECDEF nominee:

Wonder if he can be confirmed with this background? Wonder what it means for the stockpile and for the labs?

Hagel looked like a blithering idiot at the confirmation hearing. He needs to hire one of the Clintons as a tutor in effective dodging of answers.
Usually congress will give a pass to one of their own stepping into a cabinet position, but his performance may have torpedoed his chances.
He made Hazel O'Leary look good.
Hagel had to sit there and take it. McCain never saw a fight he didn't want to join. We'd have to triple the defense budget to play the world cop of his fantasies.
Chuck Hagel, a prime member of "Goal Zero", will be an absolute DISASTER for the US nuclear weapons complex.

In his Contact List. Where else?
DC rumor is that Hagel will be withdrawing his name subsequent to his beating in the Senate hearing. Sen. Graham has said he will block the confirmation of Hagel and of Brennan for CIA pending White House explanations of why Obama was "absent" during the Benghazi crisis.
