Coffey wants three-year term to revive Offaly’s fortunes

Tom Coffey has offered to take charge of the Offaly senior football team for the next three seasons.

Coffey took over on an interim basis following Gerry Cooney’s resignation in April but has suffered two championship defeats in two outings at the helm.

Coffey took over a sinking ship, however, and has expressed a desire to rebuild the team over the next few seasons. And he warned that the Faithful County need to devise a plan to revive flagging football fortunes — insisting that Offaly have fallen well behind their rivals.
