McEntee or Conor Laverty have not been mentioned- one or both should be considered.
Of the others;
Pete has come and gone- a great man but not for Down in 2019.
Conor Deegan was a deadly full-back but is dead useless as a manager.
James is still worth considering but his weaknesses are magnified when he surrounds himself with family or yes-men.
Mulholland and Poacher have their strengths- some faults but I like their passion.
Ultimately we need a clear appointment process, led by people with credibility, to put someone in charge who can get us out of Division 3, make us competitive in Ulster and get at least one run in the Super 8s( if they continue) in a three year tenure.
