Bob Green (born ) is an American former college football coach. He was the head football coach for Montana Technological University from 1987 to 2010. He received basic decorations for his service, including the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, and Combat Action Ribbon, among others. In 1980, Green took an assistant coach job at Northern Colorado, and returned to high school coaching in 1981, where he became the head coach for Broken Bow High School in Broken Bow, Nebraska for a year. In 1982, Green took another college assistant coaching job and joined the staff of Northwest Missouri State until his departure following the 1986 season. However, by 1992, the Orediggers had a 7–4 record and a playoff berth, and in 1996, Montana Tech became the first Frontier Conference school to ever make the NAIA National Championship game. Green remained active with the school after his retirement, working in various publicity and development positions.

Legacy In 2013, Montana Tech's football stadium, Alumni Coliseum, replaced its grass field with a new artificial turf surface. The school named the new field after Green in honor of his accomplishments. Green was inducted into the school's athletic hall of fame the same year.

Quotes from Bob Green include: "We were like the kid that plays second french horn in the school band, we gotta play better." "It's a double edged sword. It's like watching your mother-in-law go off a cliff in a Cadillac. You have mixed feelings." "He's like a black lab on the first day of pheasant hunting season, he was pulling at the chain." "We gotta be like a woodpecker in a petrified forest, just keep busy and look for opportunities." "I wanted to raise my kids using a depth chart! Can you imagine that? Pam Green vetoed that idea." "I've got a real short memory, just like when I was in third grade. Two of the best years of my life!" "I don't like that bottled water, I like that Butte water. You get to eat and drink at the same time." "Some aspects look like we're really ready to play. A couple other aspects look like we just got off Willie Nelson's tour bus." "His attitude is positive, he thinks he can take on hell with a squirt gun." "My wife couldn't go to church with me on Sunday. Everybody said, "where is she?" I said she doesn't go out with losers." "You could've used that to torture prisoners into making confessions. That was a bad football game." "I used to coach high school track. I wasn't a very good coach, I told them to turn left and come back soon." "Don't pour a bucket of water over my head and tell me it's raining. Know the rules!"
