Mark Stoops has his tight ends coach, according to FootballScoop.com.  Vince Marrow, a graduate assistant at Nebraska, will leave the land of corn to join his old friend in Lexington.  Marrow is from Youngstown, Ohio and is an old friend of the Stoops family.  He and Mark played football together at Cardinal Mooney.

Welcome aboard.

    Oldest graduation assistant on the planet.

  2. Tim Says:

    Gettin all the coaches….. How bout some good recruiting news….

  3. Big Whoop Says:

    This 70 year old man is a G/A? Dewd!

  4. UKBlue1! Says:

    recruiting news….UK needs a lot of really good players. Pick any publication (rivals, scout,…) and start making calls after reviewing the all 3, 4 and 5 star prospects. Offer them a chance to play in the SEC and right now. There is your recruiting news.

  5. Han Says:

    Like 1 said, if that’s the right image, unless he’s got Greg Oden syndrome, I assume he went back to finish school in his 40s.

  6. bnbk9 Says:

    Looks like he played too many games without a helmet

  7. Uhh... Says:

    2- Give it some time, you have to have a coaching staff first. Plus we know they have at least met with Quick and Timmons, and I’m sure more, we just don’t hear about it. The players will come in time.

  8. do you know? Says:

    #1 Do you know what Steely Dan is? LOL (not the band, but what the name is derived from?)

  9. lemme guess Says:

    I’m guessing Mr. Marrow’s nickname is “Bone”

  10. The Gambler Says:

    I heard Petrino is looking for a “tight ends” coach

  11. Billy Says:

    I like this hire. I’m sure he will bring experience just like the other hires have to the staff. Hope the guy is a good recruiter like the rest.

  12. Not Nerlens Says:

    2 – FYI….the current recruiting class is still going to be 70-90% Joker’s.

    With 14 of roughly 18-20 guys already committed to the old regime, I don’t think anyone should expect tons of commitments unless some of the current recruits are told they won’t have a full scholarship anymore.

  13. Coaches Says:

    Could someone provide an update for all of the filled vs. open coaching positions?

  14. UK2001 Says:

    Vince “six lips” marrow

  15. dswan Says:

    According to rivals… he had 5 commits for Nebraska this year. All from Ohio.

  16. Ukalum Says:

    You should probably mention that this guy spent the entire 90′s in the nfl and has had some jobs with lesser football leagues over the years along with a high school and now two colleges(toledo& Nebraska) he is a GA to get a foot in the door for college coaching that’s how all college coaches start out.

  17. HeshimuEvans'2ndGradeTeacher Says:

    I was wondering what happened to the guy from Good Burger

  18. truBLU Says:

    #14 I’m picking up what you are putting down thats some funny stuff man

  19. GreatHire Says:

    Great hire the best tight end coach in football recruiting is his thing too one of the best recruters in the college game. BBN does it again we set our sights on the brightest and best coaches in football and they come running. Sorry Bobby we didn’t want you we are UK football we are the needle.

  20. Any Random KSR Says:

    Another home run. Who else could put together such a fantastic group of guys, most whom are taking on positions they’ve never held before, and end up with the best football staff in history. UK’s football recruiting will soon match, and maybe surpass that, of the basketball program.

  21. MaryJoPerino Says:

    He ain’t no Joker, I cannot be seen around town with him.

  22. gobigredsox Says:

    His wife is a Dr. and he doesn’t need the income. Good recruiter too. I wish Bo would have offered him a full time job.

  23. NflScouts Says:

    Muschamp,Strong and Jumbo,Taggert and any other coach the sunshine state is under seize now by the BBN, we will allow you to pick over our left overs.Heard a Nfl scouting office and Rival.com offices are moving to the nutter facitliy. Due to the expected influx of 4 & 5 stars committing to Uk football.

  24. still trying to understand Says:

    #20 Staff looks good, but I don’t get your comment that “such a fantastic group of guys” are “taking on positions that they’ve never held before”. Are you saying that’s a good thing? Uhh, UK football recruiting, at least in our lifetime, will not surpass basketball recruiting unless of course Gillispie makes a return to UK bball.

  25. still trying to understand Says:

    #23 put down the LSD

  26. Jax Teller Says:

    They may have played football together at Cardinal Mooney, but that dude looks like Paul Mooney from Chappelle Show.

  27. MikeG Says:

    Does that mean the FSU off. coordinator is out of the mix to be associate head coach? I believe he coaches TE?

  28. LightenUpFrances Says:

    #25 trying to stay within ksr guidelines :UK football comments brought to you in the most ridiculos manner possible.

  29. UK-Cincy Says:

    #10, He makes them into a “wide receiver”.

  30. Keep rock Says:

    I think Stoops will do a good job and I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the staff he is putting together. We haven’t played a game yet but the program is going in the right direction. I think everybody can agree on that. That said if things don’t work as smoothly as we all hope and the L’s come more then the wins and WKU has success what will be the reaction? Will the fan base give Barnhart a pass?
    From just listening to people talk I think there was a lot larger part of the fan base that wanted Petrino then what the media reported. That’s okay KSR, the LHL, and other UK fan pages need a good relationship with the AD to get the news to keep them going. So naturally they will steer their story’s more to what Barnhart wants and rightfully so. Hope Stoops wins big and none of this matters. I think the SEC as a whole blackballed Petrino so I don’t fault Barnhart for not going down that road but if WKU stays ahead of UK bad days could lie awaiting Mitch.

  31. 8 is Great, 9 would be fine Says:

    Vince is related to Maurice Clarett and was his spokesperson during the whole time at OSU. He is an interesting character. He does not lack in self admiration, but he does have a lot of connections in Ohio especially. He likes the attention and will make himself known while at UK. I’m interested to see if he can coach at this level, as his experiences have been mostly with younger kids in Columbus.

  32. Catfaninthe901 Says:

    Great hire. He was Bo Pelini’s head recruiter for the state of Ohio.
