O'Brien announced his departure last night after six years at the helm to give the County Board time to have a boss appointed ahead of inter-county games getting underway in October.
Joe Murphy - who led Éire Óg to three consecutive county titles - is one of the names being mentioned as a possible successor to O'Brien.
