McManus: Panel knew Cribbin was leaving
The decision by Laois native Cribbin, who declined to comment yesterday, was revealed in a county board press release. Cribbin, who resigns after two years in charge, is only the second inter-county football manager to quit this season following Mick O’Dwyer from Wicklow.
“He had intimated that he wouldn’t be hanging around,” said McManus. “He felt a three-year stint was needed with the younger lads and a bit of consistency was needed whereas he was maybe only able to give another year.
