The 2024 football season was one of the best ever for the West Point Military Academy Black Knights football team. Leading the squad was head coach Jeff Monken, who has brought stability and strategy to a squad and allowed it to compete toe-to-toe with some of the top, best-funded football programs in the country over the last decade-plus. Hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with Coach Monken to discuss his own football history, how he’s able to get the most out of his players, and how much pressure he actually feels during the annual Army-Navy game.
Guest: Jeff Monken, Head Coach, Army West Point Football
