\n Doyle was a standout youth baseball player but switched to coaching football at Iowa.<\/p>\n
Doyle’s coaching apprenticeship began as a college sophomore at Iowa, where he spent three years as a student assistant. He worked with Iowa offensive coordinators Greg Davis (2016) and Brian Ferentz (2017-18), getting a taste of what his future job would be like.<\/p>\n
Before he transitioned to coaching football, Doyle was a star high school baseball player and first baseman at Iowa Western. However, Doyle transferred to Iowa with the intention of coaching football and has never looked back.<\/p>\n
“I always knew I wanted to coach,” Doyle said via Meirov. “I was better at baseball than football. I played college baseball for two years and I hit a stopping point where I was like, ‘Okay, I can pursue this further, knowing I probably didn’t have what it took to play professionally, or I can make this transition.’<\/p>\n
“It just so happened a job opened up as a student assistant at Iowa. That was the path that I chose, to flip a switch and go into football. I really put everything I had into it. There’s a love for the beauty of the sport.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Doyle was a standout youth baseball player but switched to coaching football at Iowa.
