"I'm ready to go to work,'' Markuson said. For the first time in nearly two decades, Markuson will not be working for Nutt, who fostered Markuson's growth as an offensive line coach at Murray State, Boise State, Arkansas and Mississippi.
Ideology cemented their bond. "We were always on the same page and got
along,'' Markuson said. "I relish all the days I spent with him and what he did for me and my family and the impact that he had on me as a coach.
"We always believed in running the football and play-action passes.''
