Emily Ryan - Cyclone Graduate Asst
- Thread starter mwwbbfan
- Start date
She’ll be a head coach somewhere sooner than we think!
This is fantastic news! Happy for Emily and the team.
We knew it would happen somewhere…why not right at home!
I was hoping this would happen. It is a total no brainer for her for us and for ISU in general.
Love everything about this!! She will be great! Why not stay "home"! Welcome back!
Fennelly said that he wanted to thank the administration for allowing this to happen. So, maybe an additional position? Did he need extra funding to hire her?
No NCAA limit on number of "graduate student coaches" so I would guess this is a funding thing for salary. Would assume as a golden girl of the program she will get a decent salary and not be treated like a gopher which is what most graduate assistants are. Hawkeyes did a similar thing this last week in adding Sydney Affolter to Jensen's staff in the same sort of position.
Emily was at training table tonight. Thought about saying congrats on the graduate assistant news but chickened out.
There is a big push to include women on Football staffs so wonder if Matt would think about pouching her.
Matt’s got her wearing black already.
While over my many years following our teams I have had favorites Emily right now is my all time favorite. What she endured with health issues and the fact she stayed true to ISU while being a leader makes me respect her. I know she will be an asset to the team this year and into the future. She will in my opinion make a very good coach because of the great person she is.
This is awesome in so many ways!! What great experience for Emily!! Great job out of Campbell and Fennelly on this one!!
