Shawn Charles took a long and winding road to end up back in his home state. The Tuscon, Ariz., native and four-time All-American at Arizona State is settling in to his new job as the head coach of his alma mater. He’s retained Brian Stith and brought in Bryan Snyder, Ben Askren, Raymond Jordan and Brandon Halsey to the coaching staff and looks to get things moving.

Charles, once a head coach at Fresno State, went from Fresno to Brown to Missouri before landing back in a head coaching position.

After a stellar career at Nebraska, earning four All-America honors, Bryan Snyder had coaching stints at Harvard and his alma mater before pursing his Ph.D. Now, buoyed by the return of Shawn Charles to Arizona State, Snyder has been announced as the new head assistant, filling out the staff with incumbent assistant Brian Stith and Missouri alums Ben Askren and Raymond Jordan.

Wrestling 411 talked to Snyder about his career at Nebraska, his experience as a high school coach at an inner-city high school, his career at Easton (Pa.), and what he hopes to bring to Arizona State.
