Down hurling manager Mickey Johnson has quelled speculation linking him to the vacancy in his native Antrim.
Johnson, who lost out to Kevin Ryan for the Antrim post in 2012, says he is committed to Down for at least one more season.
"I'm currently the Down senior hurling manager and I will be the Down senior hurling manager, as far as I'm concerned, in 2016," the Belfast man told the Irish News.
"It's all to do with timing. It's an absolute privilege for anybody to be involved with any county team - to be in involved in your own county team would be an absolute honour whether it's minor, U21 or senior.
"Of course it's everybody's aspiration to manage their own county at a time, but it's all to do with timing."
