With multiple championships, All-Americans, records, and coach of the year awards to his name, Coach Kimbrough is the definition of a Disciplined Leader. Not because of the accolades, but because he prioritizes the most important things in his life: his wife, Marlee, and his three children, Nash, Shep, and Rae O’Grady. Recorded September 2025.

For the 10th Underground Huddle, our guest was Brennan Marion, who is one of the country’s most highly regarded assistant coaches, having spent time at multiple Division 1 universities. He earned his first coordinator role at Howard University, followed by stints at William & Mary, Hawaii, Pittsburgh, and Texas before landing his current role at UNLV. At Pittsburgh, Marion coached receiver Jordan Addison, who was drafted in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings and at Texas, Marion coached receiver Xavier Worthy, who was selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. Coach Marion has faced multiple challenges and setbacks throughout his life. He had to change schools almost on a yearly basis growing up, had friends get shot, a mother that got arrested, and was homeless for part of his college football career. Not to mention, Marion suffered multiple season-ending knee injuries both in college and in the NFL. A record-setting receiver at Tulsa University, Marion is today known as the innovator of the “Go-Go Offense.” As it relates to building a team, Brennan likes to say that “How you play without the football determines how much you love your teammates.”

For the 9th Underground Huddle we welcomed Jeremy Foley, who served as the Director of Athletics for the University of Florida from 1992 – 2016. Foley’s career path was a unique one, having started as an intern in 1976 and moving through the ranks all the way up to his appointment as AD…all at the same school. Foley was responsible for hiring two of the most successful head coaches in college sports history: Urban Meyer (football) and Billy Donovan (basketball). During his tenure at UF, Meyer won two national titles and coached players such as Tim Tebow, Brandon Spikes, Maurkice Pouncey, and Mike Pouncey. Donovan also won two national titles and served as the head coach for Al Horford and Joakim Noah. Under Foley’s leadership, the University of Florida became the first college program in history to own both the men’s basketball and football national titles in the same calendar year. In total, Foley led the Gators to 27 national championships and it’s no surprise that Foley has won multiple Athletic Director of the Year awards in his career. According to University of Florida’s athletics’ website, Foley “handled virtually every aspect of the $119.3 million athletic program during his athletic administrative career.”
