McFadden had been involved as a coach with Tony McEntee in Sligo and although recently reappointed, he will return to his own county with whom he won an All-Ireland medal and an All Star as part of McGuinness’s team in 2012.
At the conclusion of that championship came the news that McGuinness would be taking up a full-time coaching position with Glasgow Celtic where he had been working with younger players since 2012. Intercounty football appeared off the agenda for a long time but McGuinness maintained a close association with the game as a pundit with
“Rory and Karl, for want of a better word, are your babies. They are guys you coached. I wanted to see them go on the right foot and help them. I said that to the county board. Then when the Rory thing didn’t work out, they never came back to me. We never had another conversation.” Earlier in the year, further controversy struck when Lacey resigned from the county academy, which he had been administering to general acclaim on a voluntary, expenses-only basis. Other coaches in the development system also resigned in protest and the crisis prompted a Croke Park review of the matter.
