Kentucky tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator Vince Marrow is regarded as one of the best recruiters in the country, and for the next three years he’ll be paid like it.

Marrow is slated to earn a total of $1.125 million over the three-year life of his new contract with Kentucky — $350,000 in 2015, $375,000 in 2016 and $400,000 in 2017. The terms of the deal were released Thursday by the university’s Office of Legal Counsel.

Kentucky’s master recruiter originally earned $175,000 per year under the terms of his original deal with the university, signed in 2012. He agreed to a contract extension last January that paid him $275,000 annually and was set to expire June 30, 2016.

His new deal with Kentucky will expire on June 30, 2018.

Marrow, who was reportedly offered a position on Jim Harbuagh’s new coaching staff at Michigan, is now the third-highest-paid coach on Kentucky’s staff behind defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot (who earns $500,000 annually) and new offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson (who will earn $550,000 annually).

His new average annual salary of $375,000 would have ranked 129th out of more than 1,100 FBS coordinators and assistant coaches in 2014.
