Randy Sanders (born September 22, 1965) is an American football assistant coach of quarterbacks for the University of Kentucky Wildcats. As quarterbacks coach, Sanders’ guidance helped André Woodson develop from an inconsistent performer into one of the top quarterbacks in the nation.
A native of Morristown, TN, Sanders was a quarterback on the Tennessee Volunteers football team from 1984-1988. He earned four varsity letters and was a four-year member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll. He remained with the team as a volunteer assistant coach, helping coach the quarterbacks, in 1989-1990 under coach Johnny Majors.
Prior to Kentucky, Sanders spent 22 seasons (1984-2005) as a player and coach at the University of Tennessee, including the last seven as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He was named offensive coordinator after the 1998 regular season, but was forced to resign after going 5-6 in the 2005 season.
After the 2008 football season, Sanders' job description changed from QB coach to offensive coordinator/QB Coach, after helping guide the Wildcats to a third straight bowl victory for the first time in school history. With this change he gave up his recruiting coach position. He continues to work closely along side head coach Rich Brooks and head coach of offense Joker Phillips in their effort to rebuild Kentucky to become a SEC contender.
