the memory of those great all ireland wins is fading fast.

I remember the pre-Harte days very clearly!

Harte did well certainly but when you look at the players he had... would have been hard not to win All Irelands

Indeed but we had some great players pre Harte too. And he was heavily involved in the development of those players. No doubt you give Mick O'Dwyer or Sean Boylan no credit either!
That was never a square ball!!

Dwyer won eight and Boylan did what Harte hasnt done.... got  a new set of players, changed playing style and won All Ireland... Harte got golden minor team and Canavan, Cavlan, Dooher, Lawn... like couldnt have missed. Took him years to make impact at minor level till those lads came along

both o dwyer and boylan stayed too long and done a lot of long term damage. kerry never reached an all ireland final for 11 yrs after they won in 86.

True for O'Dwyer   not sure that is true for Boylan... is true for Harte though still depending on Sean Cavanagh to win games. When Sean goes it'll be all downhill

boylan stayed another 6 yrs after his last all ireland in 99. mickey has stayed 8.

Boylan stayed for 8 years after he won in 1988 and then won another two All Irelands in 1996 and 1999. You'd have got rid of him before he got the chance to win in 96.

whos to say they wouldnt have won the 96 and 99 all irelands with a different manager anyway?

Not even close? We are currently the best team in Ulster and left the Mayo game behind us and they went on to push the dubs right to the wire. I don't think we are that far away.
