Tyrone star Darren McCurry admits he would have left the Tyrone squad had Mickey Harte remained in charge.
The Edendork man starred as the Red Hands claimed the All-Ireland title last year under new managers Brian Dooher and Fearhal Logan and went on to win an All Star for his performances.
Ahead of their bid to retain the Sam Maguire for the first time in their history, six players have left the Tyrone squad, just as McCurry did himself in 2018 when his confidence was at a low ebb.
