Pretty sure he was part of the original management team of Art O'Hagan and Eugene O'Hagan in the 90s.

Was going to suggest this very man myself. I have a vague recollection of him being involved with the Derry management team at some point, but I could be mistaken.
Adrian McGuckin was on a joint ticket with Eamon Coleman at one point
John Rafferty

John Rafferty
Ranch, are you John Rafferty?
Nope. I mentioned him from an Armagh perspective.
He done well with St. Gall's and now St. Paul's and has never managed a county, worth a mention.
Ray Morgan
As usual thread dominated by Ulster posters and comments.
So Dessie Ryan and McGuckian DID actually manage county teams and the rest mentioned here hardly hit the mark. Right to conclude then that there are very few top managers who haven't managed at county level?
Ray Morgan.

It pains me to agree with that comment but he was definitely more influential in the College than wee Pete.
Are we talking at County Senior Level, or any level? If it's at Senior level, what about Sean O'Neill who won the All Ireland Minor Title with Down in 1977 and the Sigerson Cup with Queens in 1982? Although I'm sure he had offers to manage senior County teams.
Who is Ray Morgan?
Sean O'Neill was the Down legend yeah? Strange he never managed Down alright especially if he did manage other teams.
Sean O Neill was involved with Down when they won the national league in 1983 and Ray Morgan was just something else managed Burren to 2 All Ireland Club titles and St Colmans College to 5 Hogan cups and I think 8 mc Crory cups not a bad record
He was still managing Queens in 1983 so I can't see how he was involved with Down,other than maybe going to one or two training sessions.
Martin Carney managed the Mayo minors (lost AIF 1991) and twice managed the Mayo U-21s (lost AIF both 1995 & 1996).
He obviously had potential as a manager but stuck with the punditry.
The manager of the London team that won the 1901 hurling All-Ireland.

Mcrory training was never the same with just wee Pete.
McStay...next Mayo manager.
Dessie Ryan DID NOT Manage a county...may have worked along with Art McCrory and big Eugene, but didnt manage. also worked with the queens sigerson set up at one point...not just because he is an Ulster man, nor a Tyrone man, but i hear from a few players who have had the benefit of his time, say that he is unbelievable...
McGuckian would be another one

McGuckian? Adrian McGuckian? He managed Derry as joint manager with Eamon Coleman. He then left and Coleman continued on his own.
Never heard of Des Ryan
