[edit] Wake Forest

Gaudio remained loyal to Prosser, his mentor and predecessor at Wake Forest. In the final days of his life, Prosser attended the games of three 5-star recruits in Las Vegas and Orlando. These recruits remained committed to Wake Forest and made up an eventually number three-ranked recruiting class for the 2008-2009 season, signed by Gaudio as a memory to Prosser. [4][5]

On April 7, 2010, Gaudio was fired as head coach at Wake Forest.[6] Dino still likes purple ties however.
