Texas head coach Angela Kelly announced on Aug. 4, 2021, the hiring for former Samford assistant coach Ben Munger as an assistant for the Longhorns program.

During his initial campaign on the Forty Acres, Munger helped guide the Longhorns to an 11-5-6 overall record, runner-up finishes in both the Big 12 regular-season standings and tournament and to the program's 15th NCAA Tournament berth. With his duties including working with goalkeepers, Munger's main pupil Savannah Madden put together her finest season in the Burnt Orange & White as a fifth-year senior with a 0.90 GAA and 87 saves on the way to earning All-Big 12 Conference honors. 

In his lone season at Samford, during the COVID-19 pandemic-affected split 2020-21 campaign, Munger helped guide the Bulldogs to an 8-2-3 overall record. In charge of training goalkeepers, he tutored All-SoCon First Team netminder Morgan McAslan, who finished the regular season with a 0.87 GAA, conceding just four goals while posting seven shutouts to lead the league.

Prior to his stint at Samford, Munger spent two seasons as the goalkeeper coach at UAB (on the same staff as Hughes). With the Blazers, he coached Conference USA Goalkeeper of the Year Kelsey Daugherty, who currently plays for Djurgårdens IF in Sweden, after spending time with Chicago Red Stars of the NWSL and Danish champions league team Fortuna Hjorring. Daugherty, who also reaped C-USA First Team All-Conference and First Team All-South Region honors, finished her career with .783 save percentage, ranking third in UAB history. She completed her stay in Birmingham with 28 career wins and 6,462 minutes played, both of which rank second on the UAB charts.

He also recruited and developed Eve Beyer, who received C-USA All-Freshman Team and Third Team All-Conference honors. Beyer's .823 save percentage was the fifth-best single season mark and her 0.93 goals against average ranked fourth in UAB history.

As an assistant coach at Akron (2016-18) working primarily with the goalkeepers, Munger recruited and coached Mid-American Conference (MAC) All-Freshman Team netminder Amani Jiu. Jiu led the league in saves (101 overall/65 MAC) and saves per game (5.32 overall/5.91 MAC), while tying for sixth in shutouts (4 overall/2 MAC) and eighth in shutouts per game (0.21).

Munger began his coaching odyssey as the men’s first assistant coach at Tennessee Wesleyan University in 2015, while also serving as the goalkeeper coach for the women’s team.

A four-year standout in goal for Maryville College (2011-15), Munger was named both the 2015 USA South Conference Goalkeeper of the Year and USA South First-Team All-Conference. During his career he rated third nationally in Division III in save percentage (.885) and 26th in goals-against-average (0.66). Off the pitch, Munger was a three-time USA South Academic All-Conference Team selection, was president of Maryville’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes and was named to the Dean’s List for seven straight semesters on his way to earning a Bachelor’s Degree in business with a minor in Spanish.

After completing his career at Maryville College, he served as the goalkeeper coach for both of Maryville (TN) High School's soccer teams, including the 2015 girls’ season where the team finished with a 17-1-2 record, including 11 shutouts.

Munger has also worked with goalkeepers at both FC Alliance and the University of Tennessee summer camps.

In addition to coaching, Munger has spent time leading trips to Nicaragua with VISIONS Service Adventures, an organization that works with high school students doing service projects abroad and spent six months studying aboard in Argentina.
