Louisville scored one of the biggest offseason hauls of the season when it landed long-time assistant coach Vince Marrow from Kentucky. The move instantly became headline news in the Bluegrass State.

Marrow had long been Mark Stoops‘ right-hand man at Kentucky. To the point that the assistant coach and the Kentucky program were nearly synonymous.

“I think he’s a huge addition for us,” Louisville coach Jeff Brohm said at ACC Media Days on Wednesday. “I think as you look, how could we continue to improve as a team, offense, defense, special teams. Then for us, recruiting and acquiring talent and building relationships. You know what? Vince, he’s an expert at it. He’s been doing it his whole life, it comes natural to him.”

Vince Marrow was named Louisville’s executive director of player personnel and recruiting, a position that will give him significant oversight of roster-building and cultivating player relationships. It’s the perfect role for him, though it’ll be a shift from the daily duties of coaching a specific position group.

In any case, Brohm believes the Vince Marrow hire will help make Louisville a bona fide threat in college football. He’s that good.

“So to get someone who’s that talented of a coach and person and recruiter is very valuable for us,” Brohm said. “I think he can help us acquire talent, he can get to know our players, he can get to know parents, he can build relationships. And it comes natural to him. This guy can talk to someone who’s 85 years old and someone who’s 5 years old like no one else.”

That relatability makes Vince Marrow a favorite of just about every player he interacts with. It’s hard to find anyone willing to say a bad word about him, even after his split from Kentucky.

Brohm summed up why he’ll be a huge addition for Louisville. He explained.

“He can just carry a conversation, and he’s just a valuable piece that I think really will do a great job for us and help us become even better,” the third-year Louisville coach said.
