Dublin manager Anthony Daly insists he will not be rushed into a decision on his future following Sunday's heavy defeat by Tipperary at Thurles.

Tipp secured a semi-final showdown against Cork in three weeks thanks to a one-sided 2-23 - 0-16 victory at Semple Stadium.

Daly, who has failed to reach the All-Ireland last-four in five of his six years in charge, will take his time over his plans but admits 'it may be time to let someone else have a go'.

Maybe it's time to let somebody else at it. We'll see over the next couple of weeks

“I’m a good while there now," he said. "We would have to give it long, hard thought.

"I suppose everyone involved in that dressing room will be thinking about that. You come into a game like today’s and you’re not thinking like that. You’re thinking about how we’re going to win the game. That’s the full focus.

“We won’t make decisions like that now. We’ll take a few weeks now to clear the head and think about things and evaluate the situation and that’s what I’ll do.”

Speaking to The Sunday Game after the match, he said: "I came to try and win an All-Ireland quarter final and there is plenty of time over the next couple of weeks to ponder the future.
