That's a bit severe considering where he took Monaghan with a limited enough panel at his disposal...
O'Rourke took the Monaghan job in 2013, and won a first Ulster Senior title for 25 years.[1] He took Monaghan from Division 3 to Division 1 in successive seasons.[1] Under his stewardship, he led Monaghan to a first win over Kerry in 27 years during the 2015 National League. They also lost narrowly against Dublin in the same year's League semi-final.[1] They reached the Ulster final in the next two seasons, which was three final appearances in a row, the first time in 92 years for Monaghan.[1] He managed the county to four All Ireland Senior quarter finals and took them to the 2018 All Ireland Senior semi final, only losing by a point to Tyrone before he left in June 2019.[
