Premier County’s next football boss will be a ‘statement of intent’
A five-man committee, headed up by Hannigan and also containing former county board chairman Barry O’Brien, has been established to seek a successor to Peter Creedon. Expressions of interest are being sought from inside and outside the county, with Hannigan keen to build on the significant progress in various grades in recent times.
Tipp were All-Ireland minor champions in 2011, contested this year’s U21 decider and reached the last 12 of the All-Ireland senior series in 2012 and 2014. Clubs have until August 28 to put forward nominations for the post and it is understood that football board officials have also monitored the concluding stages of the All-Ireland championship as they scan the landscape for potential candidates.
