Vince Marrow turns down offer to join Bill Belichick at North Carolina
The Kentucky Wildcats will keep Vince Marrow in Lexington for at least one more season.
According to John Brice of Football Scoop, Marrow has decided to remain with Kentucky. He was recently offered a spot on Bill Belichick’s first staff as head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels.
“Sources with direct knowledge tell FootballScoop that Marrow intends to remain on Mark Stoops’s Kentucky staff,” Brice wrote.
So, for what feels like the hundredth time, Kentucky’s recruiting coordinator and tight ends coach has turned down offers from another school to remain on Mark Stoops’ staff, where he’s been ever since Stoops was first hired as the program’s head coach in November of 2012.
It’s no secret that Marrow has been Kentucky’s most important assistant coach in terms of recruiting for the duration of the Stoops era. That’s led to him receiving frequent interest from other programs, including Michigan, Michigan State, Louisville, and even head-coaching interest from Youngstown State and Southern Miss.
That interest has helped Marrow receive numerous extensions and subsequent pay raises while in Lexington. He’s now one of the highest-paid assistants in college football at $1.3 million per season.
Now, Marrow will look to help this program rebound from its most disappointing season in the Stoops era.
