Miami Coach Al Golden told UCLA Monday that he is not interested in the football job, a source close to the situation that was not authorized to speak on the subject.

UCLA officials had contacted Golden last week after Boise State Coach Chris Petersen turned down the job. Bruins’ Coach Rick Neuheisel was fired last Monday.

UCLA had interest in former Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks coach Jim Mora Jr.
