I coach in Indiana right now, and in a couple years I am going to want to advance in the coaching ranks and look for some head coaching opportunities. I have coached D3 football and next year will be my second as an offensive coordinator at a 4A school. I just want some feedback from other states on the requirements to be a head coach. Do I need my master's degree, how much experience is enough, and other things that may help.

There are a few schools in SC that require a Masters. I have noticed that some schools that are looking for hc want someone with a masters here, but I think most only want teacher cert.

In TX a masters is required for some spots because they are also AD jobs. Most schools don't require a masters here but some do and the main reason for that is they are admin positions in addition to coaching gigs.

some say they want a masters as a way to just cut down on the number of applicants

In Indiana all you need to be a head football coach is a teaching license and be employed as a teacher. You don't even need to be employed by the corporation in which you coach.
An exception to this is for the school to get a waiver of the teaching license. I forget how long the waiver lasts. Also, a coach can retire as a teacher and continue to be a head football coach.
