Preseason
Offseason
Defensive coordinator Jay Bateman announced in December 2018 that he would be leaving to become the co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach at North Carolina under newly hired coach Mack Brown.[8] Weeks later, head football strength and conditioning coach Brian Hess was announced as joining Bateman at North Carolina.[9] Assistant football strength and conditioning coach Maurice Sims would also leave for North Carolina within the month. Safeties coach John Loose, after serving as the interim defensive coordinator for the 2018 Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl victory over Houston, was announced as the full-time replacement at defensive coordinator on January 10, 2019.[10]
On January 14, 2019, Army West Point announced a new multi-year contract extension for head coach Jeff Monken through the 2024 season.[11] On the same day Army beat writer for the Times Herald-Record, Sal Interdonato, broke the news that Kansas Wesleyan head coach Matt Drinkall had joined the Army football staff as an offensive analyst.[12][13] On January 18, Interdonato revealed that defensive line coach Chad Wilt had taken the same position with the Cincinnati Bearcats.[14]
On January 31, the West Point athletics department announced that Matt Hachmann would be joining the football staff as the outside linebackers coach.[15] He had spent the past two years as the linebackers coach at Stony Brook, and before that eight years as defensive coordinator at Towson. Because of his posting as linebackers coach, several defensive assistant coaches changed positions of responsibility. Coach Daryl Dixon, the former outside linebackers coach, is now responsible for cornerbacks, and Coach Christian-Young, the former cornerbacks coach, is now responsible for safeties. Additionally, assistant strength and conditioning coach Conor Hughes was promoted to head football strength and conditioning coach. On February 5, Coach Monken's last assistant coach position was filled with the announcement of the hire of Kevin Lewis as defensive line coach.[16] Lewis had spent the previous five seasons as the defensive line coach at William & Mary
On February 19 it was announced that Rusty Whitt and GC Yerry had been hired to serve as the two assistant football strength and conditioning coaches, filling out the remaining open positions on Monken's staff.[17] Whitt joined the staff after serving as the head football strength and conditioning coach at Texas Tech from 2016−2018, while Yerry joined after serving as the director of athletic performance at Stony Brook, also from 2016−2018.
On March 19, the West Point athletics department announced that Jim Collins would join the staff as the new Director of Player Personnel.[18] Collins brings 25 years of head coaching experience at the Division II and Division III levels, including tenures as the head coach at the University of Dubuque from 1994−1996, Capital University (OH) from 1997−2007, and most recently at Saginaw Valley State from 2008−2018.
The Black Knights began their spring football session on March 7 and concluded it on April 12th with the annual Black and Gold Spring Game, where the Black team completed a fourth quarter comeback to win 35−28 in overtime.[19] Following the conclusion of spring ball, rising firsties[lower-alpha 1] Kelvin Hopkins Jr. and Elijah Riley were named team captains in addition to returning 2018 captain Cole Christiansen.[20]
The Black Knights' fall camp began on August 1 and consisted of 14 practices, finishing on August 17 with an intrasquad scrimmage in Michie Stadium.[21] Following the completion of camp, the Black Knights shifted their preparation to their Week 1 matchup with Rice. During August, the Black Knights received votes for the preseason AP and Coaches Polls, just missing out on starting within the Top 25 for the first time since 1959. They received a total of 94 points in the AP Poll and 91 points in the Coaches Poll, placing 2nd and 5th respectively in each poll's 'Also Receiving Votes' category.[22]

Footnotes
- Unlike most U.S. universities, but in common with the other service academies, Army does not use the normal terminology of "freshman" through "senior" to classify its students. Cadets are referred to as "fourth-class" to "first-class", numbered in reverse order of the number of years in school. "Firsties", a widely used slang term for "first-class cadets", are thus equivalent to "seniors" at most civilian institutions.
