Rob Edwards along with O'Neil represent the early names in the frame to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Pereira was dismissed on Sunday after the squad's ten-game winless beginning to the top-flight season.
And both candidates - each of whom have historic associations to the club - are part of the options to be considered by the Wolves leadership.
The manager is currently at Middlesbrough, which would pose a possible obstacle to his hiring at Wolves' stadium.
Nevertheless the ex- Luton head coach - who made over a century of games for the club during his playing career - is considered a leading contender for the position.
The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the club board as they start the search of appointing a new head coach.
Gary O'Neil is additionally emerging as a unexpected contender, although he would be a shock appointment considering he was sacked by Wolves in the previous winter.
The former West Ham United midfielder is out of work meaning the club would not need to pay any buyout fee.
