The isn’t the first time since Malzahn took over the Auburn program that his name has been connected with other high-profile jobs. Last offseason, his name was mentioned for the head coaching vacancies at Texas and with the NFL’s Cleveland Browns.
Malzahn agreed to a six-year extension following the 2013 season, and is slated to earn $4.1 million in 2015.
UCLA’s Jim Mora is another name in which NFL teams would be interested, Rapoport reported. Both coaches are represented by agent Jimmy Sexton.
