Jerome Randle Says His `Dream' Is To Become Cal's Head Coach
I feel like being able to connect with players, being able to recruit players . . . I've been developing players all over the world," he said. "So the connections that I have to bring in five-star athletes are at the snap of a finger for me. My passion is developing kids. Especially here, I feel like I came here for a reason, to be able to connect with kids that don't have opportunities to go to college."
"To win the (2010) Pac-10 championship after 50 years, that pride is still there," Randle said. "But I don't have anything to brag about as of right now. That's what hurts my heart more than anything, where everybody's talking about March Madness and their school. I can't chime in on the conversation. It kind of pisses me off, excuse my language, it actually does."
Given the fact that Cal is extremely unlikely to hire even one of its former great players as head coach without some history on the bench, Randle said he might welcome the chance to serve as assistant to the new man.
"That's the plan. I'm hoping they hire someone that wants to be at Cal, and not using it as an opportunity to go somewhere else. The Cal family needs some type of stability," he said.
"You need to see someone there who wants to be there. Cal is unique. You can't just go hire anybody. They have to know about the area. They have to know about Cal. You've got to understand that it's not like every other school. You've got to know how to maneuver through the Cal ways. That's cool. It's a unique place that's why we all love it. I think the time is now."
He has no doubt the Cal athletic administration is aware he has interest in assisting the program.
"They know," he said. "Do they take it serious? Who knows? It's something I definitely want to pursue. I definitely would love to be there."
