Overview
- Mullen posted on X that he has "0.0 interest" in the Arkansas vacancy, directly answering fresh speculation.
- In the same message, he recommended Arkansas target Gus Malzahn, the former Auburn head coach now serving as Florida State's offensive coordinator.
- Earlier this week, Mullen said he will be the head coach at UNLV next year, reinforcing his public commitment.
- UNLV is 6-0 under Mullen in his debut season, including a 2-0 start in Mountain West play.
- Arkansas remains in a coaching search with Bobby Petrino as interim after firing Sam Pittman on Sept. 28 following a 56-13 loss to Notre Dame, a process accelerated by local reports that Mullen explicitly refuted.
