Profile
Jeff Monken was named Army’s 37th head coach on Dec. 24, 2013 and, entering 2026, has compiled a 125–79 career mark with an 89–63 record at Army. Monken led Army to the program’s first 12-win season and its first conference championship in 2024 (American Athletic Conference), earned AAC Coach of the Year and guided the team to a sustained stretch of bowl wins and multiple Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy titles. His Army teams have combined high rushing totals with top defensive and special-teams performances across several seasons.
Coaching Approach
Implements a run-first triple-option offense that controls time of possession and drives rushing production—Army has ranked among the national leaders in rushing under his tenure—while pairing that attack with disciplined defenses and impact special-teams play (blocked kicks and returns cited), a formula used to generate sustained winning stretches and success in rivalry and bowl games.
