Founder - Paul Randolph
A graduate of Johnson High School, Paul Randolph was born in Gainesville, GA. The foundation for his outstanding athletic career began during his tenure at Johnson. In 1994 Johnson High School retired his jersey and in 1998 he was voted one of Hall County’s (Georgia) Top 100 All-Time Athletes. As a result of his dedication to academics as well as to football, he was able to attend the University of Tennessee at Martin on full athletic scholarship. He was a two-time All-Conference Linebacker at UT Martin and went on to earn a degree in electrical engineering technology in 1990. In 1998, he was also inducted into the University of Tennessee at Martin Hall of Fame.
His love of football extended into a ten-season career in the Canadian Football League. Most of his tenure in the league was played with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers from 1988-1995. He helped the Blue Bombers win four division championships in 1990, 1992, 1993, 1994, and two Grey Cup Titles in 1988 and 1990. During the latter half of his professional career (1996-1997) he served as a player and coach for the Montreal Alouettes. In 2002, Paul was inducted into the Winnipeg Football Club Hall of Fame (CFL).
Coaching football was a natural transition after a stellar career as a professional football player. He started his collegiate coaching career at his alma mater, UT Martin, as a linebacker coach. In 1999 Valdosta State recruited him as the defensive line coach. In 2000, he went on to hold the same position at Illinois State. As the defensive line coach at The University of Toledo, he coached five All-Conference players, was Mid-American Conference Champions, and The Motor City Bowl Champions in 2001. During just one season on the University of West Virginia staff in 2002, he coached four All-Conference players and went on to coach the team in the Continental Tire Bowl. Paul joined The University of Alabama staff in 2003 as a defensive end coach. In 2006 with the Crimson Tide the team would have a 9-2 season and go on to win the Cotton Bowl. In the spring 2004 he was named as one of the nation’s 25 best recruiters in college football by rivals.com. He is now the Assistant Head Coach at Tulsa University in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
