Mariucci – No Contact With Arkansas at BetLM

Mariucci — No Contact With Arkansas

In a report by Pete Rous­sel of CoachingSearch.com Sun­day, he wrote that “[s]ources tell me that for­mer San Fran­cisco 49ers and Detroit Lions head coach Steve Mar­i­ucci is inter­ested in the Arkansas head coach­ing job.”

That serves as news to the cur­rent NFL Net­work ana­lyst, who told Den­nis Dodd of CBSSports.com that he “hadn’t heard about” the spec­u­la­tion con­nect­ing him to the Razor­backs vacancy and that “[i]t comes as a com­plete sur­prise to me.”

Mar­i­ucci last served as a coach – head or oth­er­wise – in 2005, com­plet­ing the third of his three sea­sons with the Lions. The last time he coached at the col­le­giate level? At Cal in 1996, when he led the Golden Bears to a 6–6 mark before leav­ing to take over the 49ers.

Despite the fact that he’s been away from the coach­ing game for nearly seven years, Mar­i­ucci said he’s open to a return to the side­lines – if it’s the right fit.

“It has to be the right sit­u­a­tion,” Mar­i­ucci told Dodd. “I haven’t ruled it out [coach­ing again]. I enjoy what I do now. If some­thing that comes up that makes sense, but I’ve had no con­tact with Arkansas.”

Here’s to guess­ing Mar­i­ucci won’t have much if any con­tact with UA in the future either.

Ath­letic direc­tor Jeff Long is expected in the not-too-distant future to make a deci­sion on whether the foot­ball pro­gram will go with a per­ma­nent replace­ment for Bobby Petrino or take the interim coach route in 2012, although it appears the lat­ter option is the most likely – and pru­dent – course of action. In addi­tion to Mar­i­ucci, the likes of TCU’s Gary Pat­ter­son, USF’s Skip Holtz, Arkansas State’s Gus Malzahn – the favorite among gam­bling types – and Nebraska’s Bo Pelini have all, at least pub­licly, interest/contact in the vacancy.
