GAA Managerial Merrygoround Thread

[Turenne]

As I said on the other thread, was told that Hartnett was going and the rest were staying after the Waterford match sosomething changed in a short amount of time.

It appeared up to this week it was just a matter of dotting i’s and crossing t’s.

Hartnets step down now seems more suspicious.

Was he KK’s man holding the thing together?

Everyone realises the Rock is difficult. Pat ryan is a stubborn mule as apparently.

I’m speculating. Maybe Keegan wouldn’t stay involved? Maybe he really was waiting till the end to make up his mind. But an interview recently really gave the impression he was ready for more.

There is no replacement. As i said in the Cork thread the Camogie Manager-Coach-Stats man combo would do a great job. But they would not be acceptable to the CB or fans. Which unfortunately matters. But Kevin Murray is the vest coach in Cork hurling or football, or one of anyway. Paudie is a super organiser and is arrigant enough and can talk enough shit to be the manager. And the stats guy Niall is a hidden gem.

But its a disaster from the general hurling POV. KK had made huge inroads in getting things streamlined.

Myler might get it. But if he brings his u21 coach then we are fucked

in that the Kevin Murray that played senior hurling for Cork Kev?

[Turenne]

Fraggy Murphy was the coach for the U-21s evidently.

If Pat Ryan leaves as coach we are in bother.

[Appendage]

Is the hurler not an auctioneer with Alan Browne?

[gilgamboa]

Edit…actually no he isnt im pretty sure

One for the things i learned today thread. Paudie murray invovked in similat business possibly in same building as other KM. Always assumed they were brothers!

[Locke]

Eddie Brennan (aka Fast Eddie) steps down as KK u21 coach

[caoimhaoin]

Yes. Coached UCC to the last few Sigersons and coached the Camogie to AI this year. Has an S&C Degree, is a Skill acquisition Coach and also now a Gaa Tutor.
There is nobody next or near as qualified.

But the Murrays don’t sit well with Frank et al.

[caoimhaoin]

No he wasn’t. He was involved a little with camogie.

Sean Barry from Inniscarra was coach

[Turenne]

The Cork GAA website is making a liar of me then as it lists Fraggy as coach.

Anyway I’m saying Sully gets the job.

[caoimhaoin]

Jaysus.

But look, he might surprise us. If he bought into Keegan and kept him you never know.

If fellas will play for Davy they will play for anyone

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

Wtf is a gga tutor ?

[Tassotti]

Imagine what someone like Davy Fitz could do with a side like Cork, but they they are to parochial and clannish to let an “outsider” take over

[backinatracksuit]

A real hurling (or football) county would never allow a true outsider to come in and tell them how to play.

@Locke

Eddie Brennan (aka Fast Eddie) steps down as KK u21 coach

he couldn’t train Lassie to bark.

[Tassotti]

Eddie Brennan is a pub talker

[caoimhaoin]

Coaching educator

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

a bit more detail

he trains coaches how to coach ?

is there anything in GGA like the UEFA badges?

[caoimhaoin]

Yes

Unfortunately yes.

Nothing out there as shit as UEFA badges though

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

Its important to have a standardized system in place so as to ensure that wafflers cant just make stuff up

whats the gga equivalent?

do all kids coaches need it

[Tassotti]

in the gga, you can just turn up and make it up as you go along, especially at underage level, there is no system or monitoring of coaching
