Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[The Trap]

First of all thanks to Fergal, Brian, Collie, Joe and everyone else for dedicating your time to manage Tyrone. Winning an All Ireland in 2021 meant you reached the pinnacle and though some dismiss it as a Covid All Ireland look at the Kerry and Mayo teams that were beaten. They were serious opposition.

I do think the right decision has been made now and hope the county board show serious ambition and appoint Malachy O'Rourke and let him assemble his backroom team which would probably include his sidekick Ryan Porter.

I believe this would give the county a lift similar to the Jim McGuinness effect in Donegal and Tyrone would be back contending for Ulster titles and the latter stages of the All Ireland.

O'Rourke to become the centre of a bidding war!

o rourke has zero interest in any county jobs by look of it and why would ye, the demands and false expectations of some counties! Glen a better gig than most of those jobs

They will always be legends as a management team (on top of everything achieved as players) for 2021. They inherited a very fit and well drilled panel, took the shackles off and won an All Ireland that simply couldn't have happened under the micro management of the previous regime. Unfortunately as time went on it became clear they wouldn't be able to build on that and weren't quite cut out for inter county management. In truth we lost a couple of seasons there when the overall standard of the Championship has been very mixed and a well run Tyrone could have been real contenders. Should have gone at the end of the 3 year term but they've made the right call now. And at least that extra year did see lots of youngsters get some valuable experience, even in an underachieving team. Dooher in particular one of the all time Tyrone greats when you factor in his playing career, but two men who always gave everything and delivered the biggest prize. Never to be forgotten.

Crucial now that the county board make a strong appointment to make the most of the talent available and quality of players coming through.

Tyrone would be the biggest job of his career. He'll no doubt be tempted if the T&Cs are correct.

Did he not refuse Derry? Plenty of talent & a conveyor belt coming also.

[square_ball]

He hadn't achieved what he set out to do with Glen when Derry approached him last year.

Maybe Derry will be back in for him this year and it'll turn into a bidding war.

I would be very surprised if Tyrone would go outside the county, there are enough talented managers and coaches amongst our own without going outside of it.

Who would you see as the top #5 from inside the county?

[God14]

Whoever the new man is, there's a fair bit of sorting out to do early doors

Talk with and weigh up existing panel.
Look at what's coming through from the U20s
Meet with the players who walked away this past couple of years
Senior and intermediate club championships about to kick in....

I do think there is serious potential in the county at the moment.

Mcgilly x Tally men for the job

Be good to have an Armagh in with you men to sort a few things out
