I've heard May from Waldron/Booneville being rumored if that is the person "down the road" you were referring too. I'm sure he's a good coach, don't know how well he'd fit in Charleston going from a spread to a veer offense and trying to out Booneville, Booneville with fewer players. I'd imagine he'd have to take a pay cut too, so don't think he'd be an actual option.

Obviously that had some legs to it. I really am shocked by this hire not due to May's qualifications, but because you had quality coaches like Smith with ties to the program available to step in.

You would think think that was the obvious choice. Charleston Guy and a resume and a passion for the program. I guess it just made to much sense. We'd hate to do the right thing.

Who is Ricky May?

Charleston administration is an absolute joke.

You got a good one, your team will be DICIPLINED and in shape

Personally glad Smith didn't get it. Two Smith's trying to run things would be too much. May will do a good job. My choice would have been Doc.

I'm curious to know what the old heads of Charleston think of the hire

So do all the kids that "moved in" to run the spread offense leave to go back to Van Buren, or follow Kendrick to Alma?

If all folks are concerned about is the entertainment factor for offensive fireworks and the ball being slung around then they will be disappointed.
If they care about having their program run the right way by a right minded man and coach, then they will love him. I can't predict what he will run, but whatever he runs it will fit his athletes and it will be run with discipline, precision and toughness. He will make men out of boys. He will support all the programs in the school and build relationships.
I haven't seen a Chucktown game in a while. So I figure they must not have an excessive amount of talent laying around if Kendrick bolted for an assistant job. So perhaps May will bring back a brand of football that Charleston used to be good at before depending on transfers and a once in lifetime QB in Storey.

Storey was an unbelievable leader and QB. He QB'd back to back Charleston championships in 2013 and 2014. I forget who the impact transfers were on those teams or the 2005, 2008, and 2011 state championship teams when those teams were Quarterbacked by Stewart and the Shelby boys? Those were the wing T, 141 power and sweep days. We've always had tough teams with homegrown talent. I don't know where this narrative started, but it's not accurate.

Great hire. Anxious to see if May brings his offensive scheme with him. Stewart ran it well in his years. I am sure they will be able to do multiple. For those who seem to think Charleston has won with transfers, keep reaching.

I'll start wearing CL Red if that happens.

It certainly seems like we are trying to out smart ourselves?

I guess that's what happens when the answer is so easy and right in front of your face. Shoulda been the easiest decision admin has ever made. Shoulda been introducing former alum Smith as HC. Instead we drew the Wild Card.

I think Coach May was a great hire. He is a great leader and motivator of young men, and y'all are all worried about offense, but I believe the ship will sail just fine. It will most likely be a multiple offense with some triple and spread mixed in depending on the strengths of the players and the defenses Charleston faces that week. None of you have mentioned anything defensively as well. Ricky May is a great defensive tactician, and will implement a tough, hard nosed defense. I played for Coach May, and I would run through a brick wall for that man. He loves his players and wants to see them succeed not only on the gridiron, but in life as well. I'm proud to say that I played for Coach May in my high school career. Best of luck to Coach May and the Charleston Tigers this fall!

Of those two kids, one moved back to VB and the other is still at Charleston.
