Brown has named Heather Marini as its new quarterbacks coach, making her the first female position coach in Division I football history.
The program announced Marini's promotion Monday afternoon. She first joined the Bears in 2019 as their offensive quality control assistant coach.
"Heather has earned the coaching position," said Brown head coach James Perry in a statement. "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.
