County Manager Merry go round

[seafoid]

There was an interesting discussion on Sunday Sport on Radio 1 just now. Derry are probably close to their peak, as are Armagh. Tyrone management are staying on. The Dubs will have some retirements. JM will have a United team and will probably do something different. He will be able to raise money. A very different dynamic to earlier in the year.

Jack O'Connor chose another 2 year. He didn't want to bow out on a loss to Dublin.

Late departure, why the two months in order to decide if he was staying or going?

Chatting to few mates today from Derry and said county board were holding out to see if they could keep Gallagher could stay in post. Meenagh was never taking over but just buying time until mess got sorted !

That ended when Rory Gallagher officially stepped down as Derry manager in mid May.

Derry exited the championship 8 weeks ago so it was strange how Meenagh waited so long to arrive at the decision that he was stepping away. It can't be any coincidence that the announcement that he was stepping down came on the same day that Gallagher was debarred from coaching by the Ulster council.

Looks like meenagh was waiting for Rory to come back

[seafoid]

Maybe he is afraid of the wrath of the  father. Meenagh will have no problem finding another county role after that semi final.

Would such an appointment rule him out of a future Tyrone manager role I wonder? Thought malachy would have been the obvious choice after dooher and co steps down

I'd say he'd prefer to go somewhere where he has a chance of winning major honours!

What is the biggest title he has ever  won. Just checking if he would be suitable for the Derry wans.

He's a very successful manager but has not won an All-Ireland. His choice now is if an All-Ireland is more likely with Glen or Derry. My guess is that he will attempt to do both, he'll bring Glen to All-Ireland stages this year and double job with Derry before stepping down with Glen.
