Multiple sources are saying that Fran McCaffery was in New Jersey on Tuesday to meet with the Seton Hall brass.

The longer this kind of stuff goes on, the worse it is for Siena in terms of keep McCaffery as their head coach.

Fran has always been a pretty straight shooter and if he thought Seton Hall wasn't an option, he wouldn't have met with them.

The New York Post is reporting that Seton Hall has spoken with Siena coach Fran McCaffery and has moved forward looking at Robert Morris' Mike Rice.

The Post reports that Seton Hall is looking for a coach at $500-550,000 per year - far below most the contracts most Big East schools currently have with their coaches.

Here part of the story from the Post.

Shopping an approximate dollar figure -- $500-550,000 per year -- that is below Big East standards, Seton Hall personnel, a source said, have already spoken to Siena's Fran McCaffery and Richmond's Chris Mooney.

It is believed, though, that McCaffery, whose Saints lost in the first round to Purdue, is looking for a more lucrative contract elsewhere.

McCaffery will make nearly that much over the remainder of his contract at Siena.

It wasn't a matter of if, but when and today The Bergen Record is reporting that Siena coach Fran McCaffery is at the top of Seton Hall's wish list.

McCaffery is coming off of three consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament with the Saints.

Seton Hall just fired former MAAC coach Bobby Gonzalez.
