That to me says it all about the man.

Didn’t win one in 1979. He was axed after a poor showing at full forward in the 1978 All Ireland Final against the 3 in a row winning Cork team. He was booed at the homecoming in Kilkenny on the Monday night. I don’t think Coach Cody ever got over the hurt of getting booed by his own people.

He’s the undoubted GOAT.
Bill Belichick remains the last of the old greats.

Im genuinely looking forward with great interest to see how the next manager gets on.
Best of luck in the retirement Brian

I heard that before alright or something similar anyway.
That would ate a man up. It explains a lot.
While his greatness is unquestionable I’d love to hear the stories of the players he dropped or fell out with over the years. Charlie Carter, Stephen Grehan, John Mulhall, Richie Hogan, Paddy Hogan, John Power, David Herity and Henry. Some tremendous score settling.

Hopefully the next boss won’t have to end up barring Cody from training a la Bob Paisley and Bill Shankley

He’ll be director of hurllng.
This is it exactly. There needs to be a big name in Kilkenny next to manage the transition rather than any auld lad. This needs Davy.

Davy is the only man mentally strong enough to take it on

By sounds of it he goes to the village training when Kilkenny aren’t training. I’d say he’d be happy enough to stay away from it all and just help out at the club.
It’s good timing for Coach Cody. He goes out with a big round of of applause after a decent enough showing in 2022 after some really awful years. His legacy as the greatest long since assured after the 11 won in 16 seasons between 2000-15.
It’s probably not a great endorsement for the current Kilkenny crop. They gave it a good enough rattle last Sunday, without ever looking like winning it. You’d be thinking if Coach Cody felt there was an All Ireland in them anytime soon, he’d have hung around for at least another year.

When were these awful years? 3 Leinsters in a row and got to an All Ireland the year before that
McDonnagh is in O’Loughlan territory, could have been that
