Rob Edwards along with O'Neil are two of the early names under consideration to replace Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The previous coach was sacked on the weekend after the team's 10-match winless beginning to the top-flight campaign.
And both candidates - each of whom have historic links to the team - are among the options to be evaluated by the Wolves leadership.
Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a potential hurdle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.
Nevertheless the ex- Luton Town manager - who played more than 100 of games for Wolves during his time as a player - is considered a leading contender for the vacancy.
The 42-year-old is reportedly enjoys backing from the Wolves directors as they start the process of appointing a new head coach.
Gary O'Neil is also appearing as a unexpected contender, even though he would be a surprising appointment given he was released by the club in December last year.
The former West Ham midfielder is out of work meaning the club would not need to provide any buyout fee.
