The name that keeps coming up here is Robert Morris head coach Mike Rice. Rice has been the head coach for three years at Robert Morris. He has guided them to back to back NCAA tournaments and has strong NY/NJ ties. Other names that will surface are former Ohio State head coach Jim O’Brien and recently fired Sixers coach Eddie Jordan. If I was a betting man, I would say Rice is the favorite. Rumor has it that Rice was waiting for this job to open.
