Replying To philbrown:  "This nonsense about "continuity " is pure PR speak and basically code for , "its the easy option" . Forget continuity and let's start talking about ambition in westmeath gaa . Either go outside get a top coach/manager or stay within westmeath"
I get what you're saying. But McHugh is a top class coach and we could see how fit the team were this year probably as a result of his influence. He certainly was very popular with the squad. But perhaps he would be better to stay on as head coach with a top manager coming in also. I see someone mentioned about Des Dolan coming back; I seriously doubt this is being considered. It would be a very backwards step if true.

Replying To mintyfresh:  "See Hoganstand saying Mark McHugh is being tipped for the job. That would be a very shrewd appointment if you ask me. Would bring continuity from last year and hopefully he could keep a lot of last years backroom team. He is on the coaching circuit a while and more that deserves a management job."
I'll be supirised if that link/story is true. McHugh has stayed no longer than a year with any team he's been involved with.
