It is the dream of many fathers to pass the knowledge gained through years in a profession onto a son. Randolph got to live that dream with Brandon at Wake. That situation may have over ridden other career considerations for Randolph. Four years officially mentoring his son, and coaching every game is a dream scenario for many fathers. That was capped by watching Brandon getting his diploma from Wake.
Randolph might well have moved on when Forbes arrived, but last year the transition was anything but normal. He stayed and helped mentor Forbes in "this is what Wake Forest University is about." That was the one unchecked box on my list when Forbes was hired. And, because of Covid lock down, something that was much more difficult to do than in a normal transition. One more task completed, or at least well along. Randolph is continuing to give back to Wake.
Now let us hope that Wake will repay that by giving Randolph assistance in finding what he wants to do next.
