Blade leaves OR

[3wiggle]

O.K. fans, who is the replacement and why did he leave????

[MLREB]

Wants the big time and OR no longer provided that opportunity. Also, he grew weary of CS fans like Bade runner....

[Soxfan1]

He left to take a better job.

[MLREB]

Actually....didn't see that coming. May be headed back to California

Not sure Hogan may know more but maybe the money due to teaching at a Wilco school?

Maybe promise of AD role as well?

The team 2013 \ will have 2 Future SEC players ( one verbally commuted to UT ) other I think 5 SEC teams offered

Heard QB will be a really good one along with some good RB coming up the ranks..

From what I heard small o and d line all underclassmen and not deep ...

Heard soph team went undefeated - but Indy has been hit hard and swill and start to feel the effects of the new high school that just opened few years ago

If he had the opportunity to become AD then who could question him for bettering himself, but he was getting paid pretty well at OR. I spoke to him casualy a couple of years ago and he wasn't happy with the environment at OR. It's no fun to go to ORHS and it's no fun to coach there either.

Blade did a good job at OR, but does this really surprise anyone? It doesn't me. He stays 3-4 years everywhere he goes. In 3-4 years INDY will go through the same thing. I want a coach who wants to be @ OR. Did good for us while he was here, but i can't honestly say i will miss him and some of his coaching style. Like actually wanting a team small in numbers..Really? Why would you want less kids to go out for the team? Well, Blade did. Hope we find someone who wants to be @ OR long term.

Then why take the job in the 1st place?

[Gerry Bertier]

AD job at Indy will not be what he thinks. ADs still have to teach classes and the AD pay is horrendous. Also HC pay is not as great as other counties.

Couldn't know that from the outside looking in
