The move of Derry in securing Tyrone’s three time All Ireland winning manager came as a shock, but it hasn’t worked out.
Mickey Harte thanked the county board of Derry , he thanked Gavin Devlin for all his help, and he thanked the Derry players, wishing him all the best in their future endeavours.
There will be a few that will carry regrets at how it worked out. Veteran back Chrissy McKaigue carries considerable influence in the group and in his spare time from playing county football for Derry and football and hurling for Slaughtneil, he is also an assistant to Gavin Devlin at his Ardboe club.
But the real influence is the man driving the training sessions and coaching them to play a certain style. For some, this feels like the closing of a bizarre chapter of Derry football history. It is however, coloured by the hysterical reaction from day one. They will inherit a team that in 2024 won the Dr McKenna Cup, the National League and finished in the last eight of the All Ireland championship. They were beaten four times, by the four times that fill out this weekend’s semi-finals.
