Lee Marks made many trips to the South a year ago in an attempt to persuade Mississippi State running back Dillon Johnson to visit Seattle.
The former running-backs coach at the University of Washington looks to be making a career move there these days, as ESPN reports he is close to taking a similar position at Memphis.

After Rick Mallory, who coached the Tigers’ offensive line from 2000 to 2009 and is currently the Middle Tennessee head coach, Marks would be the second UW assistant coach to work as a temporary hire at Memphis.
Mallory played in the NFL for Tampa Bay as a guard, was named an All-Pac-10 offensive guard by the Huskies in 1983 as a senior, and coached the UW tight ends from 1992 to 1999.
After working for Kalen DeBoer’s staff in Montlake for the previous two seasons, Marks has been looking for a job ever since DeBoer went for Alabama without taking him to Tuscaloosa.
