At Boise State, Mullally succeeded longtime athletic director Lyle Smith in the summer of 1981.[1] Less than a year later, Mullally resigned in March 1982 following criticism of his proposed ticketing policy for the school's football and basketball games.[3][4] Assistant athletic director Gene Bleymaier was promoted by university president John Keiser and held the post for more than 29 years.

Mullally owned several Checkers drive-in restaurants in the Kansas City area in 1990s; by 2001 he had retired to Florida.[5]
