I can't speak for him or anyone else but there is a rumor Gallatin has a brinks truck of money in their booster club to replace the money lost in county changes . Hahaha. 

What does “replace money lost in county changes” mean?  I do not even understand that.

Having multiple titles to your name tends to do that

I do not even know how his name was brought up to be honest.  I guess just because he is not coaching anywhere at the moment.  There were a list of his last few years coaching somewhere listed and they were far from impressive.  Looks like zoning and loss of interest played a part in that.  Not a guy that would be on the top of my list.

Blade’s on-field results really took a nosedive when Indy moved from 5A to 6A.  Although with the recent success of Page and Nolensville, I don’t know that he would have done any better in 5A.  From some of the interviews I’ve watched, he doesn’t strike me as the type of guy who just loves coaching.

Indy's talent level also went south. I don't think people comprehend what an absolute grind being a head coach is. If just coaching was all there was to it, the burnout rate wouldn't be nearly as bad among HS coaches

When there is a coach at any level that's available that also has the body of work Blade has, his name is going to be brought up whether he applied or not. 

His last few years leave something to be desired, but even the best of the best can't win without talent. HCs put up with so much BS that I'm honestly surprised burnout doesn't happen more than it does.

Blade was a winner at every stop he's been at, which is something Gallatin hasn't been able to do consistently for awhile. Gallatin could do far worse and has

I assume he means if the new coach comes from a county that has a higher pay rate than Sumner County does, or has higher coaching stipends than Sumner. We are really behind several other counties in that regard. Still working on that Brinks truck, though.:lol:

Well I know the facts as do you but I want to hear all of these “experts” and why they think the way they do.   It gives everybody a good laugh.

Still hearing the booster club has very deep pockets and can get the money up to around 150k

Not sure where you are hearing this, but somebody is giving you some bad intel. There's not a public HS coach in TN that makes anywhere near $150K, and I'm not sure any are worth it. There's just not a ROI that justifies it. $100K would be believable, but not much more than that.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
