With all due respect such are the demands on an inter county coach that 90% + of ex players are immediately ruled out of coaching.. Are you suggesting the skills required for coaching and punditry are similar?
Look at the equivalent hurling panels.!!!

Watching the match yesterday, reading today's papers and following threads on these boards. Paints a very clear picture of 2 contrasting counties.
What are Mayo good at?  Whinging, unsporting behaviour (refusing handshake), beating second rate teams, getting high on beating second rate teams.
What are Kerry good at? Winning All Ireland's

First post so apologies to all the experienced campaigners.
I know All Ireland medals are not the only yardstick by which one should rate a panelist (Expert) but it does give a certain credibility. Looking at yesterday's coverage we had O Rourke, Whelan and Brolly followed by Mc Stay, McHugh and Early - a combined total of 4 All Ireland Senior medals between them and if memory serves me right none of the 4 coming in the last 20 years. These guys are underachievers who played in an age that is so far removed from today's game that we shouldn't be in the least bit surprised with some of the stuff they come out with. As for the Gooch comment?  Nearly brought up a good steak when I heard it.  it's like saying McIlroy is only a 3 trick pony.Driving, irons and putting!!!!!
