NEWPORT BEACH, California -- Auburn coach Gus Malzahn is a hot name in coaching circles, but he's looking forward to his second year with the Tigers.

Malzahn's name was most recently tied to the opening with the Cleveland Browns, who are reportedly interested in interviewing the coach.

When asked if he would be interested in interviewing for any NFL job during a team event Friday night before the BCS Championship, Malzahn answered: "I'm happy at Auburn and I think I've made that clear."

The first-year Auburn coach has led Auburn to a 12-1 record and one of the best turnarounds in college football history. The Tigers will face No. 1 Florida State (13-0) in the BCS Championship on Monday at the Rose Bowl Stadium.

Malzahn had previously been tied to the opening at Texas, but Malzahn refuted any interest in the Longhorns in the media and also agreed to a new six-year contract worth $26.85 million before the SEC Championship Game.
