Stephen Robinson's departure has naturally led to speculation about who might be his successor as St Mirren manager.
Our reporter Chick Young said on Saturday's Sportsound programme that former Buddies midfielder Stephen McGinn is one name being considered by the board.
The 37-year-old, speaking on Sky Sports before St Mirren's match against Rangers, did not rule out taking the job, but admits his first-team coaching role under John McGlynn at Falkirk "would be a lot to walk away from".
He says it has "been a whirlwind with all the noise" on social media that has "came from nowhere" following Robinson's exit to Aberdeen.
"I always wanted to be a manager but wanted to learn my trade," McGinn said.
The former midfielder had two spells with the Buddies as a player, scoring 15 goals in 201 appearances for the club.
