Randy Wylie became the Director of Golf at Carson-Newman in June 2021. He heads into his eleventh season as Carson-Newman's head men's golf coach, joining the Eagles in the spring of 2014. 

He made a bang out of the gate, coaching Carson-Newman to a SAC tournament championship in his first event at the helm of the program.  The Eagles' tournament championship was their second all-time and their first since 2004. Wylie then coached C-N to its first NCAA regional appearance since 2012 in 2014. 

In the 2015-16 season, Wylie guided his team to the NCAA Division II Championships following a season in which his squad won two tournaments and finished second at the South Atlantic Conference Championship. C-N rose as high as No. 15 in the national rankings and were led by Honorable Mention All-American Andrew Hall. The head coach was also tabbed the South Atlantic Conference Coach of the Year that season, his first accolade from the league.

In his third season, the Eagles were named the South Atlantic Conference champions after the team closed out the tournament tied with Coker with a total score of 431. In the sudden death playoff, a chip-in by Anthony Marcinelli on the fourth hole closed out the deal for C-N, giving them the title. The win gave them an automatic bid in the NCAA Division II Men's Golf Championship South/Southeast Regional where they finished in a tie for ninth place, led by a top-10 performance by Tom Forster at the eighth spot on the leaderboard. The Eagles found themselves in the national rankings multiple times throughout the season, ranking as high as 19th in Bushnell Golfweek's preseason coaches poll and ending the season as the No. 22 team in the nation.

His fourth season with the Eagles saw the team pick up its third consecutive NCAA Tournament bid after winning its fourth South Atlantic Conference championship with a +14 total of 878. The Orange and Blue were the only team to shoot under par in the final round of play at one-under. Sophomore Tom Forster was the top medalist in the tournament, the first C-N player to win the title along with the team title since 2004. Four Eagles finished in the top 20 at the tournament, helping the team to move onto the NCAA Division II Men's Golf Championship South/Southeast Regional where the team tied for ninth. Forster, an All-SAC first teamer and All-America Honorable Mention, became the first Eagle in the Wylie era to move onto the NCAA Division II Men's Golf Championships Finals as one of the top two individuals from the region. He concluded the final with a share of 14th. During the season, the Eagles as a team were ranked as high as 15th in the nation and fourth in the region.

The 2017 and 2018 Conference crowns made Carson-Newman the first team to win the title in back-to-back years since Newberry did so in 2008 and 2009.

The Eagles were ranked nationally for the much of the 2018-19 campaign but sat as high as eighth in the nation in the GCAA poll. Wylie's sixth season brought six top three finishes including a win at the Aflac/Cougar Invitational. On the individual side, Tom Forster was top medalist at the Southern Tide Classic that season, marking the seventh time an Eagle had won an event in Wylie's tenure. C-N gained a fourth-straight berth into the NCAA South/Southeast Regional as the three-seed. A trio of Eagles garnered All-SAC status with Forster grabbing his third accolade, Jake Headrick closing his career with a fourth-straight and Jake Mynatt getting his first as a freshman. Forster went on to be a Jack Nicklaus Award semifinalist and received a third-straight All-American nod, this time as a second-team selection, while Anthony Marcinelli polished his career with back-to-back CoSIDA Academic All-American honors.

His seventh season at the helm of the C-N squad saw the Eagles sit as high as No. 17 in the nation in Golfstat's poll. Led by All-Conference first and second team picks Tom Forster and Alex Hodge, the 2019-20 unit recorded the best 4-player team single-season scoring average in the program's recent history with a 291.4, besting the 2017-18 squad by half a stroke despite the shortened season.

The eighth year with the Eagles saw the COVID-19 pandemic move the season to a spring-only slate. They garnerd four top five finishes in a season that saw them sit as high as No. 20 in the nation in the Golfstat rankings. Three Eagles grabbed All-SAC honors with Alex Hodge landing on the second team along with honorable mentions Jake Mynatt and Will Collins.

Wylie spent more than a decade at the University of Tennessee as both an assistant and volunteer assistant coach.  He is the Director of Instruction at Holston Hills in Knoxville.

Wylie was Tennessee's PGA of America Section Teacher of the Year for 2010, as voted by the PGA membership throughout the state. He already was named the Knoxville area's PGA Teacher of the Year for a second straight season and the third time since 2004.

A 2008 inductee to the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame, Wylie won the 1984 Greater Knoxville Amateur and then played professionally for nine years. He was a member of the 1997 and 1998 Asian Golf Tour and made the cut in two U.S. Opens -- 1990 at Medinah Country Club in suburban Chicago, and 1997 at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Md.

Wylie’s former boss, UT head coach Jim Kelson attended Wylie’s introductory presser on March 31, 2014. Kelson and Wylie have helped tutor a pair of Volunteer golfers who played as two of five amateurs at the Masters in Oliver Goss and Garrick Porteous in 2014.
