Vinny Marino took over as Brown’s Offensive Coordinator in 2019 after two seasons calling the plays and working with the wide receivers at Bryant under head coach James Perry.

Marino's first season in Smithfield was a success as the Bulldogs put together one of the best offensive seasons in program history. The wide receivers thrived under Marino's watchful eyes and in the new Bryant offense. The Bulldog receivers set program records for catches and receiving yards in a single season, with three players posting 45+ catches on the season.

As an offense, Bryant averaged nearly 100 more yards per game in Marino's first season as the offensive coordinator. Bryant put up 30.3 points per game and broke the NEC record for passing yards per game in a single season.

His 2018 offensive unit continued to light up the scoreboard, averaging 32.5 points per game, while averaging 411.1 total yards per game.

Marino was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Davidson in 2016 and spent the prior two years at Boston College. During his time with the Eagles, Marino served as the recruiting coordinator, the assistant director of player personnel and quality control for the offense special teams. Marino was part of a coaching staff that helped guide the Eagles to seven wins and an appearance in the 2014 New Era Pinstripe Bowl.

Before arriving in Chestnut Hill, Marino spent two years as the offensive coordinator/QBs coach at Georgetown and six years as the offensive coordinator/QBs coach at Columbia. With the Hoyas, he helped the Hoyas lead the Patriot League in red zone scoring and fewest turnovers in 2013.

Marino also excelled during his time at Columbia, coaching five All-Ivy League quarterbacks in his six seasons. He coached quarterback Craig Hormann who signed a free agent contract with the Cleveland Browns. Marino also recruited All-American tight end Andrew Kennedy and wide receiver Austin Knowlin, the all-time leading receiver in Columbia football history.

Marino has also made stops at UConn (2002-05, Recruiting Coordinator/Assistant Coach), Rhode Island (2000-01, Running Backs/Special Teams), Richmond (1999, Wide Receivers/Quarterbacks), Holy Cross (1996-98, Offensive Coordinator/QB’s -98, Running Backs/Special Teams – 96-97), Western Carolina (1993-95, Graduate Assistant) and Bowdoin (1992, Wide Receivers/Returns).

At UConn, Marino helped the Huskies win the 2004 Motor City Bowl and was named one of the top 10 football recruiters in the Big East by Rivals.com.

Marino helped guide URI to one of its best seasons in program history in 2001, as the Rams finished 8-3 and ranked No. 19 in the nation. At Richmond, Marino coached wide receivers Muneer Monroe (6th round draft pick of the Denver Broncos) and Dwaune Jones (Cleveland Browns free agent).

Marino graduated from UConn in 1992 with a bachelor’s degree in economics and earned a master’s degree in physical education from Western Carolina in 1996.
