Now that Rex Walters has left Florida Atlantic for San Francisco, there should be no shortage of candidates to replace him in Boca Raton, Fla.

Here are three guys who could be in the mix:

- Georgia Southern head coach Jeff Price
- FAU assistant coach Mike Balado, who was at Miami Dade and is a South Florida native.

That leaves Pittsburgh assistant Tom Herrion and Memphis assistant Chucky Martin as the two front-runners.
