I bet Jimmy can't believe his luck. A new sporting director buys some time and allows Cormack to pass the buck on a decision. Also a handy wee diversion.
Follow that up with Brendan going and wee Martin coming back. Suddenly nobody is talking about him.
I reckon the new guy has a few weeks to assess and will be told to make the call if things don't improve rapidly.
Watching Sunday though, I'm not sure they can.
