Kyle Green Hired
- Thread starter Dandy
- Start date
I mean it probably isn't a great thing if your lead assistant who is going to hit the recruiting trail running is planning to leave within a couple of years. Who knows it could possibly be a temporary living situation. He and his wife both clearly have successful careers. If we are hanging banners and he leaves for a better job offer thats great. I just hope he doesn't have one foot out the door from the jump regardless.
I mean it is literally the day he got announced for the job. Pretty early.
The NCAA scrutiny is unrelated, though. There is a long history of hiring family/coaches to pull recruits.
By commute... I'm guessing this means getting an apartment/townhome in Ames and going back to CF often.
With COVID restrictions on recruiting and social distancing. He doesn't even need to be in Ames that often

I’m betting his contract has a condo included for in-season and practice periods. I don’t know how much contact he can have with players now, but he may be able to do most of his work and recruiting from CF at the moment. I doubt he’s driving back and fourth literally every single day.
Hopefully this commuting thing is just short term. If the season starts and he is still commuting, I give this about 1 year tops.
I highly doubt he’s going to be driving every single day from CF to Ames.. Lol
We're all going to have vaccines by the summer. The COVID recruiting restrictions will be a non factor very soon.
He would have the money to have 2 houses. But maybe this is temporary while his kids are at UNI?
Tj said he was gonna get guys that love isu...so he hires someone who has been at one school for 15+ years. And now it’s possible he commutes from that school.
Some of you care way too much about a commute.
He's a good coach.

It don't think anyone is commenting on the commute any more than it's just a weird deal. I think college coaches are pretty notorious for working some insanely long hours. Just trying to figure out how 3 hours on the road each day works into that.
I know plenty of people who live wherever and (used to) fly into Washington, DC on Monday and work from there throughout most of the week, heading home on Thursday or Friday afternoon/evening.
Seems bizarre to Iowans, but it wasn't that unusual on the East Coast before COVID became a thing.

Ideally the program is successful enough soon to have an assistant get the nod for a HC job. Green's decade+ experience may mean it'll happen sooner than later either way though.
I’d be surprised if he doesn’t get an apartment or condo, or have somewhere he can crash at in Ames.
Because there’s probably a 0% chance he’s going to be driving from Ames to CF and back every single day..
