Horan left the post four years ago, having guided the Westerners to back-to-back All-Ireland finals.
U21 boss Michael Solan and former All-Ireland minor winning manager Enda Gilvarry are also said to be in the running for the role.
Rochford stepped down last month over a lack of "the desired level of support " from the County Board.
