The New York Post is saying that current St. John's coach Norm Roberts' time is numbered.

The Post is saying that Siena coach Fran McCaffery is on a short list of possible replacements.

McCaffery has seven years left on his contract in Loudonville that runs through the 2006-17 season.

The Saints played the Red Storm this season at The Palestra, with St. John's winning 77-68 on Nov. 27.

Fellow MAAC coach, Iona's Kevin Willard, who won the conference's coach of the year, is also on the list.

Here's what the Post said.

Highly placed sources said that Virginia Tech coach Seth Greenberg, a Long Island native with ties to St. John’s, tops their list of realistic candidates. Greenberg is a two-time ACC Coach of the Year.

Several sources at St. John’s said the university was prepared to offer a long-term (six years), lucrative ($1.5 million annually) deal to the right candidate.

Hofstra coach Tom Pecora, who is highly respected by high school and AAU coaches in the metropolitan area, also is on the Red Storm’s wish list as is Siena coach Fran McCaffery, Iona coach Kevin Willard and Harvard coach Tommy Amaker, the former Seton Hall and Michigan coach.

Sources told The Post that former St. John’s and Knicks star Mark Jackson has reached out through third parties to gauge if there is interest on the university’s behalf. Although he has name recognition, he has no head-coaching experience.
