Blade news.

 

Not that I'm putting the two together. But odd.

Little birdie told me he's headed back to California, just a coincidence

Barney and the clock again. A man can’t coach because some teenager is running the clock? My gosh

You wouldn't run into a circus like that over at Maryville. maybe that's something your used to in Knoxville since they don't pay good. Get what you pay for I guess.

We know Barney, not everybody lives in Maryville! Just be thankful you do. You all have the best of everything and never makes mistakes.

Had I been in that situation I would have picked up the phone and said we have a mess on our hands and need to play over at Maryville tonight instead.

From what I understand he is just burned out on coaching and wants a break.  

His wife has a very good job with a Nashville based national healthcare company. My source who interviewed him in Middle Tennessee doesn't think they are going anywhere.

I wouldn't be surprised if your right. Has been here for 15 years, so to up and move would be a little odd

Are you still talking about Blade? He coached at OR in 2012

Who ever they choose as with any coach he will have his hand full. He should come with a proven system that works or has worked in the past in this Region. Have a good character and disapline. 1st year might be tough even with the current talent. But a good hire by January 1 st should have time. Good luck to OR in finding the best possible fit for the area.

Not sure if somebody has thought about Coach Clarke Duncan yet? He posted a nice Tweet to Coach Gaddis and Gaddis has said they were friends. Would he be a good fit for the Wildcats?

Oh, just for the record...I will not apply nor accept  the Head Coaching Football position at Oak Ridge.

However, I am always available to sit in the Press Box and eat Big Eds. I will even buy my own pie. I will need an assistant to sneak beer into the stadium. JK.

Haha good post. Duncan would be a good one too!

Clark Duncan is 63 years old and may not be a long time fit.
