Tipperary must appoint the right person, not the popular choice, to replace Liam Sheedy
NEXT MAN IN? Waterford manager Liam Cahill with his Tipperary counterpart Liam Sheedy after the All-Ireland quarter-final between the counties at Pairc Ui Chaoimh in Cork.
In the search for a successor the Tipperary County Board must heed the lessons that Liam Sheedy has taught hurling - it is critically important that the County Board appoint the right man to the role . . . and not a 'great man'; in such situations, it is about identifying the candidate who is actually qualified to do the job, someone who will get the physics of performance just right.
In the popular imagination, the candidates to succeed Sheedy have been lined up with Liam Cahill (Ballingarry), Darragh Egan (Kiladangan), Tommy Dunne (Toomevara), Brian Horgan (Knockavilla Kickhams) and presumably William Maher (Ballingarry) featuring amongst others.
