GAA Managerial Merrygoround Thread

Its an extremely rare creature that can skip the grades.

Its critical. Or else you learn on the job and it can be far more damaging

No. None of that is sure of anything.

Lots of lads here assuming his name will carry him with his local friends and maybe not so friends.

You guys are missing the psychology of this and showing distinct inexperience

You need experience yes. Of course.

Otherwise you get dopes going out flogging guys and getting them injured. And them themselves getting frustrated and losing them to coaching forever bexause they cannot handle the way young lads are.

Happens every single year wholesale

He has taken it. Without experience.

Thats arrogant.

And he played these lads this year. That always becomes an issue

Didn’t Pep manage some youth team?

Didier Deschamps

Thats a bit of experience right there. Rules him out of this conversation.

Is Shefflin not going co-manger with his brother, who just managed a team to a club all-ireland? maybe he thinks he might learn something from the brother…

are you asking us or telling us?

There’s a huge gulf between managing the Barcelona B team in the depths of the Spanish second division versus being thrown in at the deep end managing Ballyhale.

Pat Gilroy showed supreme arrogance in thinking he could take over the Dublin football team without any experience of coaching or managing whatsoever and win the All-Ireland.
