The Cork footballers' season came to a very underwhelming conclusion in picturesque Inniskeen where the glorious weather didn't inspire the Rebels the way it had when they stunned Donegal.On this week's Echo Sport Podcast, Denis Hurley and Barry O'Mahony join Éamonn Murphy in the studio to look on the major issues impacting Cork GAA, with a focus on the footballers' elimination and what the future holds.John Cleary was unsure about his future as Cork manager on Sunday, but is entitled to a fourth year at the helm. Cleary may decide to freshen up his backroom if he commits to 2025. If he doesn't, there are no obvious candidates to replace him.Looking at the bigger picture, Cork minor and U20 results, and performances in the Corn Uí Mhuirí schools competition, were alarming this year and Conor Counihan will step down in September as Director of Football.Who should fulfill that role now? And what targets should be set after the first Five-Year Plan didn't deliver?On the hurling front, Cork were very unconvincing in beating Dublin and will need to be far sharper and more aggressive to have any hope of taking down Limerick in the All-Ireland semi-final.We discuss the hurlers' dip in form since the Munster championship.
