The online articles this evening are that Jim is staying on. The word that he was looking to combine the U20's with the Senior job haven't come to pass, Gary Boyle staying on in that job.

Replying To Commodore:  "Haven't heard a peep lately to suggest he wouldn't stay on, seen him pictured with Enya at part in Leo's a couple of weeks back, I think he will stay on for another year or two.

Last season threw a curve ball at a lot of top teams, he wasn't the only one caught out in that regard, it was very up and down for lots of teams."
He's been at a few championship games and the democrat online is reporting this evening that helps staying on for another year.

He has done a really good job in fairness, I know people get frustrated at times with things, but I still believe he is best placed to take us the distance again. My only concern is whether we have enough talent coming through to re-energize the seniors. We could be doing with a Kobe McDonald or David Clifford.

You're right to be concerned about the talent coming through... best player in the first 2 rounds of the Donegal Championship... 37 year old Michael Murphy

Persisting with James for another year! Is that in the best interest of Donegal football?

Yeah that has been the case of the last few seasons, no major breakthrough stars lighting up the club scene. Of course we have decent players at various clubs coming in, plus clubs like Four Masters on the rise, but no stand out superstar players that stand out from the crowd with blistering individual talent.
