Donegal GAA wish to confirm Rory Gallagher has stood down as senior manager. Our thanks to Rory...full statement to follow
Jumped before he was pushed I'd imagine.
Maybe a job switch - Pete McGrath to Donegal and Rory to Fermanagh 
?
It was inevitable. I feel bad for him with the social media abuse. Its a tough time to be an intercounty manager.
Hard to know where we go from here. We clearly have a major rebuilding job with more retirements imminent and a very young squad. People talk about MacNiallais and McLoone being tempted back, and that would help some, especially around the middle, but the tactics issue needs to be addressed also. Murphy must have been drooling with envy watching Donaghy in Croke Park yesterday causing havoc under the early high ball into the full forward line, while the defensive style of play is clearly on the way out.
No idea who they'll target for the job. You hear James Horan mentioned in place, but didn't he quit Mayo due to the demands of a young family combined with work? WTF would drag him all the way up to Convoy a couple of nights a week to rebuild with young players with little senior experience, especially now he has a handy tv gig? Declan Bonner would be an obvious contender given his current role, but he's had it before (albeit 20 years ago) and then went through the debacle where himself and Charlie Mulgrew were offered a joint gig before the CB changed their mind and gave to John Joe Doherty. In addition, I think he's been pretty critical recently of the lack of coordination and planning through the various age ranks in terms of developing young players in the county.
Time for McHugh to put his money where his mouth is?
Whoever gets it, they'll do well to keep us in Division 1 and have us playing football in late July. I don't think we'll be bothering the super 8s for a year or two.
