Darragh o se is another man id give a go to. He would offer inspiration to Kerry.

I'd love if Darragh Ó Sé were to get involved, he was such a father figure to the team in his time and he was especially good in battles against Cork. Whoever will get the job I wish them the best and we really need a good solid league performance and beat Cork in Killarney next year.

No managerial experience! Cannot see him getting the nod, although I reckon he would be a fine choice;)

Would O Cinniede(spelling) or Seamus Moynihan ever have interest in it?

i think O 'Connor's reign will be set as a manager who could not get to grips with the northern tactics and especially Tyrone.. He may have beaten Tyrone this year but that is not the same Tyrone team of the past and the game didnt have the importance of an final. He did well but got handy all irelands from Mayo.. there will always be this comment to be made on O'Connor and kerrys reign during his time.

Jack O'Connor will be remembered for 2004, 2006, 2009.

So the Armagh that Kerry played in in the All-Ireland Quarter Final of 2006 (when O'Connor was manager) wasn't a Northern team?

Or Monaghan, Antrim, Tyrone that Jack Beat in his reign as a Kerry manager.

On the biggest days he failed to win against northern teams and in particular Tyrone. I know this for kerry people is a hard pill but he got handy all ireland especially Mayo. I remember watching Tyrone and thinking the spirit and dedication to the end result was unreal. To me Mickie Harte is an unreal manager and what he has done for Tyrone is in a totally different league. I just wish my own county could get Mickie Harte

I think the celebration after playing Tyrone this year displayed this hard pill but it was too little too late as the game was not a final and donegal beat them in the next round

The fact is Dblin, Tyrone, Armagh, whoever you'd consider a tough team weren't good enough to beat either Kerry or Mayo/Cork those years.

The same 33 teams are in the Championship every year.

Therefor there is no such thing as an easy All Ireland.

Some are easier FINALS, but an All Ireland is not won on one day in September. There is a years worth of work gone into that one day, and you try and tell any All Ireland winner their medel was an easy one to win, and see how far you get.

The only teams that don't seem to win easy All Irelands are the ones that beat Kerry in the Final.

What about Liam Kearns? I think he might be up to the task but like most I'd like to see Buckley as the next trainer.

Don't forget Derry in 2004.

The next fcukin person that mentions a 'soft All Ireland' should be permanently banned IMO, its a myth and doesn't exist :mad:

The GAA forum mods will take care of enforcement issues thank you.

Let me also ask you to refrain from using bad language and backseat moderating.

Thank you for reading.

When the last two teams make the final, the pressure is immence on managers and players. It is my opinion and some more may have the same opinion that the best of a team is truly reflected on this day. Some people can take the pressure better and display this in the all ireland final. Kerry have been turned over by northern oposition and in particular Tyrone. Some teams peak for whatever reason and dont perform in the final take for example mayo against dublin in 2006 and then totally freeze in the final. I think alot of teams in Ireland would have beaten Mayo in 2004 and 2006 on all ireland final as they failed to give any kind of a performance. This makes it alot easier to hold out and win. When a game is fought tooth and nail by two teams, you truly see the inner belief in a team.

If Kerry in their prime meet tyrone in their prime, I would bet on Tyrone for two simple reasons
(1) They had players that were willing to do anything to win the final and truly believed in this.
(2) They had a better manager as he installed (1) in the players OS

I think a manager drives his personality on a team and I think O'Connor did well but fell down on really big days (finals) against northern teams and for this reason I think he will always have this criticism laid on his door. It has merit in my eyes and I think other people see this as well. This may be a hard pill for Kerry people to swallow but it is a valid criticism

Point of fact: Jack O'Connor faced Tyrone once in an AI final, in 2005. They were beaten by the better team on the day. Kerry played really well that day, Tyrone were phenomenal. Don't see why that merits criticism.

As for your point about loads of teams being able to beat Mayo in 2004 and 2006, whichever teams you're referring to weren't in the final because they either (a) weren't good enough to beat Mayo, or (b) good enough to beat Kerry.

Great to see the good people of Kerry sign up to the new GAA initiative of adopt a team, when your own team is knocked out of the championship. Pat & the lads bringing a little bit of sunshine to Dingle at the moment .. or Paidí as he prefers to be known while down there
