I don't see that that's a problem with the timeline. Tom Riddle in 
CoS says Dumbledore persuaded Dippet that Hagrid should be 'trained' 
as gamekeeper. So for Hagrid to be trained implied that someone else 
was gamekeeper at the time (to do the training). This was probably 
Ogg, who continued as Gamekeeper until Molly and Arthur's time. 

During Arthur and Molly's time, Hagrid was probably either assistant 
to Ogg, or alternatively was working at some other magical estate 
until Ogg's retirement - when Dumbledore, now Headmaster, asked him 
to come back to Hogwarts.
