It's been 12 years since Bob Green retired as the head coach of the Montana Tech football team. He is still synonymous with Oredigger football. He always will be.
Green led the Orediggers for 24 seasons. His teams won a ton of games and Frontier Conference titles, and he had radio, television and newspaper audiences laughing along the way.
At 73, Green is still the same guy who moved to Butte after he was hired by Tech in December of 1986. He is not only a great Oredigger character, he is a true Butte character. While they might have been raised in Nebraska, Bob and Pam Green seem like they meant to live in the Mining City. It is hard to imagine life in Butte without them.
