He was told he had the job before the interview process even began. Also told the dual players not to play hurling on a number of occasions.

If he did then he shouldnt be near the job to be fair.. surprised he wasnt pulled on that or was he

Who do the winners have in the Leinster Championship ?

Sounds like your talking to yourself Mark

Its just an opinion. Thats all. No need for smart replies. He might be useless he might not be. I think the model going forward should be that development squad coaches take the minors if the are deemed to be ok. Benefit of the doubt is all.

I met the guy after the 15s beat Cork and he was very articulate and he has the best interests of the players in his mindset, clearly has a big passion for Laois GAA driven through family, and that was from a 2/3 minute chat. ive gone to a good few games as we have a few lads in the club on the 15s county panel. From talking to parents they all seemed of been very impressed by his workrate and getting the best from the players. Regardless i think its a positive that the development squad coaches are moving up to Minor. Its a model held in alot of counties, why do we need some "experienced" county journeyman taking these teams when we have guys who know and coached the players at our disposal. Seems like no matter who gets these jobs, you have someone ready to give out at the start.

If he gets the job we can boycott the Minor Champ

Why ?

Come on now Gaa-Smart who have ya heard !!!! I hope whoever it is has more experience than the name going around for u-17 management.  These young men need to be developed properly now so as they can progress to senior level and from what I hear money is the biggest factor rather than quality coaches. But as you said it's only rumour

The 2019 u15 manager has the minor Job.

Just seen that.. thats a decent appointment although taking a chance but im not against taking chances. I doubt they had many better applications for the job either. He done a serious job with the 15s last year from what I seen. He is young and im sure he has a good management team around him. Best of luck.

Who are they paying to do the minor ? 

I heard the 20s is Eddie Kinsella but until anyone is confirmed, who knows.

Its a good opportunity for a 20s manager to see eligible players to be fair. Rumour is we have one now  !

Semi final draw next year.

I heard 4  names in for minor this evening, possibly 3. Not much on 20s

Any word on the two outstanding positions ?

Malachy O'Rourke linked to what ?

Malachy O'Rourke linked, any truth in the rumours?

U20 Management job? thought this was public knowledge

It was tough enough getting a senior manager now Malachy O Rourke is taking the 20s.. Jim Gavin taking the Minors

Any word on 20 and Minors?

Well done to all involved in this. Hopefully its a continuation of the last few years, maybe even with abit of off the record help from Sugrue

I see O Loughlins gone
