Jeff Monken contract details: How much does Army football coach get paid per year?
By Sam Fariss
The Army Black Knights have started the 2024 college football season perfectly. So far, Army has taken down its first five opponents in flawless fashion and HC Jeff Monken is making quite the name for himself in the head coaching world.
Monken has been with the Black Knights since 2014 and has led Army to 75 total wins and five bowl game appearances.
Somewhat surprisingly, Monken only makes $2 million a year – a far cry from the top-paid head coaches, like Georgia's Kirby Smart who makes roughly $13 million annually. So, what are the details of Army's head coach's contract?
