Army West Point Head Football Coach Jeff Monken has been selected as the inaugural recipient of the Buddy Teevens Award, which was created to honor those coaches who’ve been innovators in growing and improving the game of college football. Named after the legendary Dartmouth College coach, the award recognizes outstanding achievement on the field, as well exceptional leadership that leaves a lasting impact on players, other coaches, and the sport at-large.

?Over the last 11 seasons, Coach Monken has resurrected the Black Knights program, which was mired in a 17-year slump when he arrived. By blending his core principles of humility, toughness, effort, and execution with cutting-edge tweaks to his tried-and-true triple-option, Monken has gone 81-56 at one of the toughest places to win consistently.
