As of May 24 Ivan Ljubicic (ee-VON LOO-bi-chich) is the only name that’s still coming up; see:

I agree, that would work! Brad Gilbert might also be good, as was speculated in the SportsNet article. Tom Tebbutt has good insight here:
“There has been a sense of stagnation over the past few months and when that happens in any sport, the coach or manager is always on the hot seat. There has been persistent criticism of Raonic’s return of serve and his backhand, but he has lost several matches in 2013 more because he has simply made bad shots in crucial situations.
“Those are not Blanco’s fault, or errors of basic technique. They are related to confidence and that’s all that really separates Raonic from making another serious move up the rankings. That’s likely the principal reason for him making the change.”
