Bob Bodine begins his third season as the offensive line coach with Army West Point Football.

In his second season with Army (2015), Bodine continued to guide an offensive line focused on helping create strong and powerful linemen. Anchored by center Matt Hugenberg, the offensive line experienced seven different starting lineup combinations in 2016, but was still considered among the top rushing teams in the country.

In his first year at Army West Point (2014), Bodine helped build an offensive line that ranked fifth in the country in rushing yards, garnering 296.5 yards per game. This fifth place ranking was impressive considering there were 10 different starting lineups, and 13 players saw action among the front five.

Prior to his arrival at Army, Bodine spent four seasons at The Citadel, three of them as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. Under his direction, the Bulldogs were among the most successful rushing teams in the country, ranking as high as fourth in the Football Championship Subdivision level in 2013.

Before joining the staff at The Citadel, Bodine spent four seasons as the offensive line coach at the Virginia Military Institute, where he once again coached the Keydets into leading the nation in rushing.

Bodine began his coaching career at his alma mater, Tulane University, as a graduate assistant. While at Tulane, Bob worked with the offensive line and long snappers. He then accepted a position at Georgia Southern where he first had the opportunity to work with Coach Monken. During his six seasons with the Eagles, Bodine coached the outside linebackers, wide receivers and slot backs.    Following Georgia Southern, Bodine then moved to Jackson State as the offensive line coach and then on to Bethune-Cookman in Daytona Beach as the slotbacks coach and recruiting coordinator.

Bodine earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Tulane University in 1993, where he was a three-year letter winner and two-year starter as an offensive guard for the Green Wave.

Bodine and his wife, Joy, are the parents of twins Gabriel (Jake) and Gracie and reside at West Point.
