This week, as coaching jobs at Siena and Boston College became available, speculation began to swirl about the future of Huskies head coach Bill Coen. That speculation was downplayed by Northeastern athletic director Peter Roby, who maintained that Coen is Northeastern’s head coach for the foreseeable future.

Roby acknowledged that both sides have been renegotiating Coen’s contract, an extension on which was signed during the 2009 off-season. It was not disclosed how many years the extension covers, or if there was any salary change.

“We are currently negotiating new terms, which have not yet been agreed upon,” Roby said of the contract, adding, “We are excited for the future of our basketball program with Bill Coen as our head coach.”

In addition to contract negotiations, the athletic department is currently working on its 2010-2011 budget, which is not expected to be complete until May. This includes the reallocation of resources following the termination of Northeastern football in November, as well as recruiting and travel budgets for the upcoming year.

Earlier this morning, the Boston Globe’s Mark Blaudschun reported that Boston College fired head coach Al Skinner, just days after Skinner interviewed for the opening at St. John’s University. Though BC has requested permission to talk with two coaches (Richmond’s Chris Mooney and Cornell’s Steve Donahue), the report names Northeastern’s Bill Coen as another possibility for consideration, as he is “thought to be on his short list” of candidates.

Late Sunday, Coen was mentioned as a possible candidate for the head coaching position at Siena.

After getting swept over the weekend by VCU, Northeastern baseball will have to wait until at least Friday to get back in the win column, as their annual home game vs. Boston College was pushed back one week due to rain. The Huskies next host Hofstra for a 3-game series, with coverage beginning Friday at 2:00 p.m. on WRBB.

ESPN.com’s Andy Katz is reporting that Bill Coen is one of the top outside candidates to replace Fran McCaffery at Siena, after McCaffery picked up the head coaching job at Iowa. Northeastern athletic director Peter Roby announced to the SGA earlier this year that Coen had been signed to a contract extension, but the terms of the contract were never formally announced or released.

This season, Coen coached the Huskies to a 20-14 finish, their best record since 2005, and his first 20-win season as head coach at Northeastern.
