BRISTOL, Conn. – Army head football coach Jeff Monken appeared live on SportsCenter, met with a host of college football administrators and received a full tour of the ESPN Campus on Friday.
Because of weather delays at the U.S. Open, Monken's live interview time kept adjusting. The second-year head coach did a segment live on SportsCenter during the 10 a.m. hour in the broadcast companies' large set.
Monken, who concluded his interview with "Beat Navy," then met with members of ESPN's College Football programming department before embarking on a tour of the massive facility.
Monken visited the NFL studios where most professional football programming is broadcast from and passed the helmet locker which houses most college football teams for its popular helmet sticker segment.
The new college football set was next and Monken was the first college football coach to see it. He also stopped in the Major League Baseball studio where he took a few swings and stepped on the mound in the appropriately named set.
From there, Monken witnessed First Take being shot live from the floor and then into the control room to see the backend operations.
The college football hallway is one of the newest additions to ESPN. A touch screen allows you to click the logo of your school and the fight song is then played. Photos of every Division I college football program are displayed as well.
Stops in the cafeteria and gift shop were mixed in on the tour which included the newsroom, the ESPN audio wing, the ESPNW section and the X Games area.
Monken concluded his tour and then met the team for its walkthrough at Rentschler Field where the Black Knights were set to take on Connecticut.
