Finished at russell for sure, not sure where was at before.

Being a member in this community and around the program, I can tell you that Coach Edge was done wrong by the administration. They knew who they were getting and praised him as a great hire until one parent stirred up trouble when his son quit the team before the season started. Apparently this parent was actually in on the hiring process (so I hear). The parent went to the Board meeting and demanded that he be fired and it began the slow process of extermination. Edge was asked to resign or to be fired and I’m told he chose to be fired (due to the reasons given him). Edge had moved his family of eight to Russell County in September or October and was fired in January. He also had three former Laker players as assistants on his staff and that did not help his cause. Blankenship took over the position and is the brother in law to Brian Milburn and the House of Rep. leader Jeff Hoover. Lots of politics taking place in Russell County and no secret what went down in this firing.

They have offered the job to a 13th region assistant and he's supposed to have a decision today.
