The Culture Shift That Saved Army Football

In this episode of Next Up with Adam Breneman, Adam sits down with Army head coach Jeff Monken, one of the most respected and disciplined leaders in college football. Coach Monken shares the full story of how he took over a struggling Army program in 2014 and built it into a winner, leading them to a historic 12-win season and conference championship. 

He talks about the unique challenges of coaching at a service academy, the culture shift he demanded from day one, and why the mission at West Point goes far beyond football. Monken dives deep into how he’s used analytics to gain an edge, why he returned to the triple-option offense, and what makes players like Bryson Daily so special. He also opens up about adversity in his coaching journey and why serving his players is his greatest responsibility.
