The Reds are currently stumbling their way towards an underwhelming mid-table finish, with the play-offs appearing an increasingly unlikely destination.
Darrell Clarke was recently axed as head coach and replaced by Conor Hourihane, who has stepped up from his assistant role to become the club’s interim boss.
He is set to see out the campaign at the helm before a decision is made on who will take the club into the 2025/26 season.
Regarding the permanent head coach vacancy, Barnsley chairman Neerav Parekh told The Yorkshire Post: "There's some Championship managers to League One managers and a lot of people want the job - far more than last summer.
“We have talked to a number of coaches, one of whom is a fantastic option and he is getting paid by his ex-club until the summer and another who is a potential option is a fantastic coach, but has personal reasons why he cannot decide until summer.”
