To say the community is not behind the program at Oak Ridge...WOW you are wrong on that one, but Indy got a great coach.

Light years ahead of Dyson that is for sure!

What offense does he run?

I agree, the community is the one thing this program has going for it!! If you look in the stands, the seats are full middle aged and older Oak Ridgers that still love to come to see a good Wildcat ball game. The Wildcats also travel as well as any team out there.

Spread offense guy if I'm not mistaken.. Should keep Wharton and the other kid there now.

Ha well Wharton did verbal to Vols but were still waiting for him to verbally commit to a high school for 2013.....

Blade runs spread under center most of the time. Indy got a good coach. Wharton should stick around if he wants to learn something and have some type of stability.

Ncs what is your take and will you be joining your old buddy?

How is that a plus for Oak Ridge? Everything about the community speaks of middle and old age. Where are the younger people? Why aren't the kids coming out for the team or coming out to the games?

 

Sorry not to say anything about Indy other than you got a very good coach.

Last post on Indy's thread about OR football, If it weren't for the "old guard" the stands would be empty and the football/athletics programs would suffer seriously. I have made my personal position concerning the overall culture that has been created at ORHS by the current admin. very clear, and that's why there are no students on the sidelines or the bleachers.

 

CONGRATS TO INDY...GREAT COACH

Because Blade didn't want them coming out for the team. Sound weird? Well, it's true. Less kids on the team for him meant easier practices to run and less parents to deal with. Blade wanted small teams. Baffling to me.

Coach Blade is a hard guy to get to know and is not a great "people person" BUT he is a very good football coach. If you have some talent, you're going to win. He will get a lot out of whatever talent you have. This is a good hire for your program. Good luck to your team and Coach Blade.
