Steven Godfrey is a great writer. He's also a Georgia Southern fan, which makes him one of Monken and the triple option's greatest advocates in the college football media.
So why wasn’t Monken at the top of the list at a place such as North Carolina — or any other power conference school searching for a new coach while balancing name, image and likeness (NIL) funds and budgets smaller than the game’s dominant powers?
"Because he coaches at Army. That’s it. There’s no logic to unfold here. There’s no counterpoint to the idea that winning at a place such as West Point should overqualify a coach for a bigger college coaching job. There is simply the lazy, popular belief that service academy coaching is too bespoke to translate.
Let's hope they never learn their lesson.
