Hope springs eternal as the Illini search for a new coach. My personal favorite among the list of coaches is Army head coach Jeff Monken, who has amassed an 86-54 career record as the head coach at (1) Georgia Southern, 2010-13 with multiple appearances in the FCS semifinals and a win at Florida in 2013; and (2) Army, where he has guided the previously futile Black Nights to a 3-0 bowl record, four wins in the last five games against bitter rival Navy, and two Commander-in-Chief Trophies in 2017 and 2018 (Army’s first such trophy since 1996).
