Army Head Coach Jeff Monken stopped by for the first time in two years as the honorary guest speaker, to address the club about his incredible undefeated season at West Point so far this year. The former Georgia Southern Head Coach also stopped to talk to 41NBC about what makes the Macon Touchdown Club so special to him.
“I feel like I’m coming home when I come back to the touchdown club in Macon” said Coach Monken Monday night. “When I became the coach at Georgia Southern in 2010, they invited me to come talk, and I came every year. Then, when I left to go to Army, they asked me to come back. So, I was glad to do that and feel honored, and privileged, to come back and share the story of West Point, and our program with the folks here in Macon.
Coach Monken went on to say, “{I} got a lot of friends here. There’s a lot of Georgia Southern people here in Central Georgia. Seeing old coaches like Coach Hatcher, and I just love coming back, so frankly coming here, and supporting the Methodist Home for Children, and eating Mr. Lonnie’s fried pork chops, there’s not a much better meal than that one. So O’ve been looking forward to this for a couple weeks here knowing this was coming.”
