When Providence fired men’s basketball coach Keno Davis the rumor mill immediately starter up on his replacement. Several publications have listed Marshall coach Tom Herrion as a possible candidate.
Herrion has previous experience at Providence, serving as a assistant coach on Pete Gillen’s Friars staff from 1994 – 1998. He also has additional Big East experience as a assistant at Pittsburgh from 2007 – 2009. In five seasons as a head coach at Marshall and the College of Charleston, Herrion sports a 102 – 49 record.

Tom Herrion, Marshall — Another former Friar assistant, he never had a losing season in four years as head coach at College of Charleston (2002-06) before he was dumped in favor of South Carolina legend Bobby Cremins, with whom the C of C administration was enamored. Now at Marshall after a stint as an assistant at Pitt, Herrion led the Thundering Herd to a victory over West Virginia this season. PC fans may recall that Keno Davis’ lads lost in Morgantown by 30, 93-63.

An early list of some candidates for the Providence job: ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla; former Boston College coach Al Skinner; Fairfield coach Ed Cooley; former PC assistant and current Marshall coach Tom Herrion; Duquesne coach Ron Everhart and Saint Peter's coach John Dunne. I wouldn't be surprised to see Wagner's Bobby Hurley (and brother Danny) in the mix.
