Will Coach Kendrick stay at charleston?

[ChucktownTiger]

Doesn't belong here until after the season. Kendrick is the Charleston coach until this season is over and discussing anything else is a distraction

Just outta curiosity, how is this any different than u starting the Ctown Bville thread a week early?

[WPWells]

Starting a game thread a week early is just to spark conversation. That game was on the schedule, and everyone knew it was going to happen, so that was something relevant to the season. Discussing a possible coaching change is irrelevant to the current season

[elmerfudd]

Ok so new rule everybody, listen up:

You can only start a thread to spark up conversation about something that everyone knows is going to happen beforehand, and only things that pertain to the current season.

Get it? Got it? Good!

The pay increase from 3A football to 6A/7A football is a lot bigger than you think. Hard to turn down a 35% salary increase no matter the profession.

To me if a coach is concerned with his family, then that 35% pay raise would mean a lot to him. What's better for a "young" family than almost twice the money?
I could see if he was an older satisfied coach just happy to be in a small town, but a young coach is different. They almost always check to see if the grass is greener somewhere.

[nastynice]

He has other "ties" to Charleston that may keep him as head coach rather than pursuing a more elite, higher paying coaching position.  He has a brilliant football mind.  Combine his and Stewart's offensive genius with Hobbs' and Meyers' defensive brilliance (and some athletes to coach), and you pretty much have the perfect combo for success. I personally hope he stays in Chucktown.

You're gonna have to choose a side. No fence straddling.

[DogsWin7]

Ever??

[nastynice]

No

[DogsWin7]

Not even in special circumstances?

[nastynice]

No

[Jack1990]

I wouldn't say never

I thought I already did.  October 31, 2014. Very publicly.  I hope I get to do it again December 5, 2014.  GO CATS GO!!!!

Springdale not too far from Chuck, and they'd pay pretty good

Some could think winning is more important than the money though. May h ave already been put on here, but is Kendrick from Charleston? Winning state titles at the old alma mater is the dream to some guys...

[Lineman]

He's a pointer alum I believe

[adaptedtigerfan]

Yeah good luck with winning a title @ VB

Thats true some coaches don't care about their career, they just want a job close to home.  He doesn't come across that way to me though.

[Lineman]

How does he come across to you?

[nastynice]

How does he come across to you?

Ambitious and on a mission to prove himself on a higher level!

[Lineman]

What are you baseing that on?  Have you had many conversations with him?

[YC]

[nastynice]

Not many. So you're saying he's settled in and doesn't want to pursue a bigger career?

[Lineman]

I'm not going to say never, but I'd be very surprised if he left on his own

[Sick Dog]

Leave the man alone. this is some idiot from Booneville or Smackover trying to stir up some stuff to get Chuck off the focus of winning the state championship. Good luck with it?

Since it's all public information. Does anyone know what the salaries are of some of the area coaches? How does the 3a coaches compare to each other and to bigger schools?

Watch...You'll have the PC police jump on you for posting that stuff. I did it last year when I posted some stuff on a coach that was linked to the Waldron job, and got all kinds of messages and stuff jumping down my throat for that one...They didn't even care that anyone that knew how to operate a computer could look up all that stuff either...

[HorseFeathers]

http://www.arkansasonline.com/extra/databases/coachsalaries/?appSession=055483011847436 This link is a bit dated(Shows Loughridge as the Coach at Charleston), but could give ya at least a starting point to debate the salary aspect of it all.


***Edit...Ok it's closer to 10 years old than I realized...Marc Tucker hasn't been at Hector in a while.

[OLDSCHOOL82]

You can go to any schools website and it's in the state required section.

The PC police scare everyone ... If they come at me, I'll just start a riot and burn something

[gitrdone]

Just heard from a "reliable" source that Coal Hill is starting a dodge ball team and he is being considered for this job.

[KOJACK]

Coach prolly should upgrade... Sometimes your scheme isn't as good when you don't have an SEC Qb running the show...js

[BAMA#16]

Charleston actually has a good one behind TY, just a sophomore.

[nastynice]

Just like any other business, and this is a business! Sell high and buy cheap!
His stock won't get any higher.

Not SEC caliber...

No Kojack, not SEC talent.

 I talked to Coach Kendricks mother tonight and learned everything about this subject there is to be known.  And to show you what kind of fellow I am.....................I ain't telling nothing. 

[Skip Baymore]

It might be a good time for him to accept a bigger offer.  Charleston will be a good team next year but it will be their turn to "recycle" the next year or two.  Before this year, the best teams of the past five years have been Charleston, Harding Academy, Glen Rose and Fountain Lake (now 4A of course).  Fountain Lake last year and Glen Rose this year kind of hit the wall.  Harding Academy younger and thinner in depth this year (still managed a conf. title) and a very respectable season but not running at the same horsepower.  Guess who's next to have to rebuild?  And Im not talking about Drew Central.  Put that in your pipe and smoke it.   Lol.  I kind of cracked myself up on that one.  Yours truly,  Skip.

It's a shame that Steven A. is not here to argue the other side like he usually does. 

[Sourpuss]

If Kendrick leaves I'll shave all the hair off of my hairy gorilla like body. 

Whomever up there said that he "has ties" to the community...that person gets it. Everyone else is full of it.

I could even share a story to illustrate this, but im not gonna. 

He's not going anywhere.  His hair will be gray when he quits coaching at Charleston.  And Charleston will be better for it, though they will proclaim him the worst coach ever and want to crucify him after his first loss here, in keeping with rich tradition. 

There is the slightest of chances that when Greenwood opens up he could be lured there (driving distance) (doubt it..but a snowball in heck has a chance), but anywhere else outside of FSM within driving distance doesn't make sense.

A major factor influencing CDL to leave will be the same factor to influence Kendrick to stay. 

Puss out

[whippersnapper]

Just to join in maybe Kendrick to Russellville?

[Sourpuss]

I have strong reason to believe that Kendrick will live in Charleston for many more years.  He appears to be quite content here.  If not here maybe Fort Smith in years to come. 

It will be tough for him to leave here.  Not because he can't.  He just won't.  Unless they start treating him like garbage.   if that happens he'll go to one of the many suitors he has each year.  He's a lifetime hire wherever he goes. 

Now if a school had enough $ to lure Loughridge away from Alma then he might consider there as well.  There are whispering's and rumors all the time. This year is no different.  I just can't imagine who'd need a coach that could pay more than Alma?

But I could see Kendrick taking a strong look and following DL down the path to Alma.  Again, driving distance.  Think Russvegas is too far.

[Wolfpack68]

To be honest, Idk anything about Coach Kendrick but I don't see him leaving anytime soon. He's what, 28-0 at Charleston? That's something special. He's losing one of the best this year but he still has good players( They always do). He's not leaving now. Maybe in the future sometime though. Who knows, if he keeps up the streak he may get a college offer to Arkansas or ASTATE. But for now, he'll stay at Charleston. Don't worry 12th Man.😂

[Woopig75]

Coach L left because of a meddling administration in his program!! Most coaches won't put up with that!! Doubt Kendrick puts up with it long term??the grass is always greener

[WPWells]

Wanna tell us more about this?

[Wolfpack68]

Imma leave it at this. I want to see what he can do without Storey and King. Not doubting him at all, but will it stay at 14-0 or 15-0, or will it turn into a 7-9 win season. That's still a good season though.

[Coach Venny Slocombe]

Heard from a very reliable source that he has already been called about two very good openings coming up...

Kendrick is a very talented young coach...the offers will be rolling in...and lot's of money...
