Cunningham in the frame
Cunningham was an All-Ireland-winning selector with former Cork manager John Allen in 2005, and there was widespread surprise on Leeside when he was not considered as a replacement when Allen stepped down after Cork’s three-in-a-row bid was stopped by Kilkenny in 2006.
Other possibilities include Allen himself, another of Allen’s former Cork selectors, Patsy Morrissey of Newtownshandrum, former Cork U-21 manager John Considine, recent Fitzgibbon Cup-winning coach Paul O’Connor or a combination of some or all of them.
