The only way McGeeney will appear is if there is a clear out of the current county board


Cork county board are in situ despite the best efforts of the lads.


Armagh county board have no reason to get cleared out.

So not a runner.

Leave Geezer and Grimley alone  >:(

Hear hear!

I doubt McGeeney would leave us at this point in time. Not the kind of man to leave a job half done.

Whether Paul Grimley would desert Geezer is another matter. He does appear to be quite bitter about not getting the Armagh job after Joe Kernan's departure though.
There's Seán Brady going in, what dya think Seán?

Won't it depend on how much money the board has if they want an outsider.

Marsden, Tony Scullion, Grimley, with McGeeney as manager.

Was it the CB's fault that Armagh lost this year, last year, the year before that etc ?

Was it because of the CB that they won the Sam in 2002 ?


No to all questions. The CB thing is a red herring. In a lot of people's eyes the county boards throughout Ireland are useless, but how many are volunteering to do the jobs that these lads do ????

Justin McNulty could be a candidate.
Hes been fairly successful at club management.

Armagh county board don't possess the skillset to be properly researching and appointing any type of coach or manager, never mind the county senior one.

none of them ever did a day of coaching. only one man in the executive actually played the game - some 40 years ago. how can that group of people be entrusted with making the most important managerial appointment in the county?

How could any of them have any understanding of the fundamentals of football management? skill enhancement, man management, psychological preparation, gameplans, tactics, etc? Given that they have no basic knowledge of these things then how can they competantly appoint the best man for the job? they won't evem be able to draw up criteria for possible candidates to meet!

Lets not forget these guys made the last appointment and only appointed kernan against their better judgement in autumn 01 because they were staring into the barrell of a gun if they didn't.

Marsden as a forwards coach and Scullion for the backs. They are both AI winners (not to mention a bucket load of other medals), so they know what it takes. Both full-time coaching development officers for Ulster Council. Can't speak for Tony Scullion but I know Diarmaid won a Division 2 title, Division 1 and reached the Armagh SFC in the space of two years when player/manager at Clan na Gael, is that not good enough for a selector?

DuffleKing


well the first thing is that both are barred from county jobs because of their work with the ulster council.
playing records are irrelevent to coaching credentials.
has scullion ever won anything as a coach?
maybe marsden might be credible but he's probably too young to have the cv for it yet.
