Mark Hutson

On February 11, 2012 Hutson was hired by the Oakland Raiders to be the tight ends coach under head coach Dennis Allen. Following Allen's 2014 dismissal, Hutson was not retained by new head coach Jack Del Rio for the 2015 season.

Hutson joined the Tulane University staff in 2007 as offensive line coach. He was named interim coach for Tulane's remaining six games following the resignation of Bob Toledo.

During Hutson's tenure at Eastern Illinois, the team won two conference titles and went to the NCAA Division I playoff twice. The team he led as interim head coach lost in the first round of the 2006 playoffs, 24–13, to Illinois State.

His coaching travels next took Hutson to the University of Tulsa as the offensive line coach from 2000 to 2002. Following Tulsa, Hutson came to Eastern Illinois University and spent four seasons as assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. In the 2006 season, he jumped in as acting head coach when Bob Spoo was sidelined after surgery. The team finished with an 8–5 season record, 7–1 in the Ohio Valley Conference, winning a co-championship with UT Martin.

Hutson began coaching with his alma mater in 1990 as a graduate assistant. He coached with Houston Nutt at Murray State University, Boise State University and the University of Arkansas. While with the Razorbacks, Hutson was selected Southeastern Conference Special Teams Coach of the Year.

After trying to regain his playing form, he was eventually waived on June 1, 1989 and forced into early retirement.

Hutson was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the third round (67th overall) of the 1988 NFL Draft, after dropping because of his limitations in pass-blocking. Two weeks into training camp he suffered a herniated disc that required back surgery to remove it. He was placed on the injured reserve list on August 31.

In 1987, he was a part of an offensive line that contributed to the Sooners leading the nation with a 499.7 rushing yard average per game. On October 17, Oklahoma rushed for 518 yards against Kansas State University. On October 31, the team rushed for 565 yards and 8 touchdowns against the University of Kansas, averaging 8.3 yards per carry. In the 1988 Orange Bowl, he picked up an intentional fumble (a fumblerooski play) and ran 29 yards for a touchdown, although the Sooners would lose the game (14-20) and the national championship to the University of Miami. He played in the 1988 Hula Bowl.

In 1986, the offensive line was so effective, that it earned a player of the week nomination as a unit, after the season opener 38–3 win against UCLA.

In 1985, he was moved from tackle to left guard in the third game against the University of Texas, where he would remain in the following years. The team would go on to win the national championship in the 1986 Orange Bowl against Penn State University.
