“Heather has earned the coaching position,” said Brown head coach James Perry in a release. “In one season with our program, Heather has done a great job for us. She has proven through her efforts in the office every day with us in an off-the-field role that she’s ready to run the quarterback room.”
Marini served as an offensive quality control analyst in 2019 and will be the QB coach this fall.
