One of those names is FAU's own Mike Jarvis who just led the Owls basketball team to record-setting season in Boca Raton.

When asked about the Miami job, Jarvis answered from a professional standpoint by not commenting on another opening while he is still with his current employer.
“I am employed by Florida Atlantic, and grateful for that,” Jarvis said. “I am recruiting for next season. The only job I will talk about is the one I currently have.”
However, even with the politically correct answer, it does not mean Jarvis won't hear what Miami has to say if they offer him the job.
Jarvis makes $200,000 a year as FAU's coach and Miami can offer much more than that if they wish.
Haith reportedly made more than a $1 million per year even though he had no previous head coaching experience.
If Miami offers Jarvis significantly more money, FAU can do little to match because so much of its budget is tied into the new stadium, and basketball doesn't generate nearly as much as football.
