The 76ers could have a new head coach by this time next week.

Philadelphia general manager Ed Stefanski said Tuesday night that the process of hiring Eddie Jordan's replacement should soon be completed.

"We've interviewed seven people and right now we've taken a step back," Stefanski said. "We're reviewing everyone and right now we've narrowed that list down. There are two options: Bring some people back for a second interview or just go towards the candidate we feel most comfortable with. So that's where we're leaning so far."

Stefanski wouldn't name a top candidate, but Doug Collins is believed to be the first man on the list.
