Offaly's Pat Roe is the latest senior football manager to step down after their comprehensive 5-19 to 2-10 defeat at the hands of Down in this weekend's first round of SFC qualifiers at O'Connor Park, Tullamore.
Roe was two years into the job but let county board chairman Pat Teehan know that he didn't intend seeing out a third year.
The former Carlow and Wexford manager becomes the fourth manager to step down in less than three days.
