Steve Mariucci hasn't heard from the University of Arkansas about its coaching vacancy.
The website CoachingSearch.com reported Mariucci's interest in the job earlier Sunday, citing unnamed sources.
"I just had a few phone calls from my son and a few friends asking what's going on, and to be honest, I hadn't heard about it," said Mariucci, who's now an NFL Network analyst. "It comes as a complete surprise to me."
Mariucci, 56, added that he would only take another coaching job if it were "the right situation."
