County Manager Merry go round

[Rossfan]

Nice to see a Roscommon man helping out our nicest neighbours.

[Shamrock Shore]

The rumour of Andy Moran is just that. No truth whatsoever.

I see Longford CB have issued a statement saying they haven't interviewed anyone yet.
Also rumours about of him getting the Laythrum job!

Longford CB have a GAA name as head of the 'Find a Manager' Committee. I would hear a bit on the grapevine so I was surprised when news of Moran's imminent appointment become news.
It certainly was news to the County Board!

For a second there I thought it was a new fundraiser different than the "Win a House", "Win an Inter county manager"

Will Kildare supporters be pleased if Tom Cribbin is named the next Kildare senior football manager instead of Davy Burke?

Is Jack O'Connor nailed on for the Kerry job? Is not a bit of a backward step, with all due respect to the Dromid Pearses clubman?

Thought Cribbin  done decent job with Westmeath but crazy for Kildare not to appoint Davy Burke.  Done great job with Confey, Kildare u20s, Sarsfields and Wicklow.

I doubt it because the one thing he'll be able to instill in Kerry is steel, and that's what they need. The rest pretty much takes care of itself. I'd fancy them for the All-Ireland next year.

Depends on the management team with O'Connor, if he brings in a good tackling, Defensive coach they will be there or thereabouts for the All-Ireland title under him.

That "steel" didn't cut it against ourselves in the 2005 Final, and come to that, only Mick O'Dwyer (as manager) has had the necessary to vanquish the Red Hands in AI Finals.

Stephen Stack has emerged as a contender for the Kerry job with a strong backroom team,

I wouldnt be particularly a fan of Peter Keane, but I think he's been really hard done by!

They were a whisker away from Tyrone and I think would have handled Mayo (or Dublin) handy enough in the final.

I'd make them warm favourites to win next year if they retained Keane. But a new manager with new ideas, new gameplan, maybe new players, will inevitably lead to a step back, and while that may subsequently lead to two steps forward, it's more of a gamble.

Look at Tyrone this year...

Oh not saying first time managers can't win. It has happened quite a few times in the last 30 years.
