Taught in Loughrea didn't he? A cousin of mine taught with him for years up there. She used to train the school's camogie teams.

a lot of the RTE panel are teachers between Cyril, Loughnane and O'Rourke. the most high-profile manager in the game Cody is a teacher too so if you re looking for an inter-county job it seems to help

Very very few are factory workers, refuse collectors, shop assistants... its the working man's game you know... :rolleyes:

Jack O Connor also is a teacher, as is Eamon Fitzmaurice. Paul Galvin used to be one until he packed it in. Tomas is teaching in Cork i think.

Sure people with real jobs barely have time to train teams.

freddiek

Peter Fitzpatrick managed to combine training the Louth team and running a successful business.

Oh and he was a T.D at the time as well!

He certainly doesn't ... unless talking rubbish on RTE sport is work .. and I don't think it is LOL ..

And while I'm at it .. all the commentators on RTE Sport talk rubbish, absolute drivel (especially during the matches) ... except Michael Lyster .. only sadly, sometimes he has to nod his head in agreement.

Just having a look at the teams left in the football Championship

Kerry - Eamonn Fitzmaurice - Teacher
Tyrone - Mickey Harte - Teacher (might be retired now)
Monaghan - Malachy O'Rourke - Teacher
Donegal - Jim McGuinness - Coach - what did he do before he went to Celtic?
Cavan - Terry Hyland - Auctioneer
Mayo - James Horan - works with Coke I think
Cork - Conor Counihan- CEO of a disability charity
Dublin - Jim Gavin

Anyone know what Jim Gavin does?

Peter Canavan, Brian McIver, Peter Creedon and Aidan O'Brien are all teachers and I'm sure there are others out there I don't know about.

klairondavis

Jim Gavin used to be in the Air Corps. No idea what he does now.

Having retired from the game as a player, McGuinness went on to work as a fitness coach and a sports psychologist in the North West Regional College, Limavady.

Cody is a teacher, as is James Cha Fitzpatrick. Not sure whether other Kilkenny players are teachers. A lot of them are either salesmen or work in banks.

Pretty sure.

Came up in a conversation in a pub about managers/players jobs a while back and there were 2 Mayomen there. Maybe someone from Mayo can confirm 100%?

Why do you think it suits him?

Just the set of him in his hat. I could see him pacing the sideline with a bottle of Coke in hand.

are lads that show promise at an early age advised to go down the teaching route because of all the free time its gives them in the Summer?

I remember reading that on Mick O'Dwyer's great Kerry team a good few of them were P.E teachers..

I don't think too many are actually advised to become teachers but I think it's a thing that lads with an interest in GAA can very easily fall into in a sense. [I know that you don't just "fall into" teaching but in terms of jobs in rural areas there's usually not a whole lot of options]

Terry Hyland's main business is Hyland Hardware, a large builders providers.

He started the auctioneers in 2007 but its only a side aspect with one of his sons.

It's hardly a coincidence, or surprising, that so many managers are teachers/ex-teachers.
Many of those managers/coaches got into coaching through taking school-teams and spend/spent lots of their free-time doing so.
They are also likely, given their job, likely to have an aptitude for, or at least experience of, dealing with/teaching/coaching young people and young adults so it'd make sense that they'd be at the fore-front when it comes to inter-county jobs.

I'm not a teacher, but that's BS. Did the teachers who educated you not do real jobs? Or are your kid's teachers not doing real jobs? Its not a job I'd like, dealing with other people's brats all day long...

Kevin Moran, Jamie Nagle, Shane O Sullivan, Brian O Halloran and Jason Ryan are teachers too.

Sur fair play to them. I certainly wouldn't object to having an inter-county teach or train my kid if I had one.

And few in teacher training college from Mary I's great Fitzgibbon run were Colm Galvin, John Conlon, Luke O'Farrell, Jamie Nagle, Conor Cooney,Declan Hannon

freddiek

with the amount of names stated above, I have to conclude that GAA players see teaching as a handy gig, with the added benefit of not having to worry about work during Championship

Also, how hard can teaching be when all these lads are in the queue? . They're hardly all rocket scientist material. It shows a lack of imagination in terms of career outlook when they are going down the teaching route in such large numbers

Although the GAA has always been associated with having high levels of teacher/public servant involvement. Its sad though that others in more pressurised occupations just don't have the time to commit

(The Dubs team is of course the highest-profile in the land and at least 2, Cluxton and Ger Brennan, are in teaching)

varberg

Tipperary hurling manager Eamon o shea is an Economics professor in nuig.
Dubs football manager Gavin think he works in dublin airport or is a pilot.
Davy Fitz owns a pub.
John Allen limerick manager is a teacher.
Joe cooney and john power and bobby ryan are farmers.
Brian whelehan and pat fox and lar corbett and paddy cullen and larry tompkins own pubs.

Teacher seems to be a very common profession among gaa players but im sure you could name a good few for a lot of differant type of jobs.

MaroonAndGreen

Michael Meehan is a teacher too!

Neeson

Colm McFadden - post primary

Frank McGlynn and Rory Kavanagh - primary

Think I read last year McBrearty is planning to, he's in Maynooth. And Murphy with his biology (not his physique but his knowledge of the subject) will have no bother getting a job in Ireland.

DEFTLEFTHAND

Did Farrell really retire in 2002? Just checked his wiki and he would have been only 52 in 2002. What is this Greece?

Lemlin

Seanie Johnston. He teaches in Breffni College in Cavan, a secondary school.

He lives in Kildare though ya know

Ronan Flanagan on the Cavan panel is also a teacher.

Val Andrews that managed Cavan until last year is a college lecturer.

Well, the points to get into teaching are, and have always been, reasonably high, so it probably suggests that these guys work hard, or at least did work hard for the leaving. The course itself isn't actually that easy either, 100% attendance is required at all lectures, and the first 3 or so years of teaching are supposed to be extremely difficult. All people see from teachers is the 6 hours or so they do in school, but the reality is teachers do another 6 hours at home preparing lessons and making/getting resources. After 4 or 5 years the work load get easier, but it's still as difficult as any 'real' job, and certainly up there with the most demanding degrees.

As you can probably tell from my post I'm a student-teacher myself, and let me just say that the intercounty footballers I know, the effort that they put into training carries over into their professional lives. One of the Dublin footballers is actually currently in Conemara doing his 3 weeks in the Gaeltacht, and has to drive to Dublin and back for training.

freddiek

at least 3 and maybe 4 out of the last 5 Louth managers have been teachers/Lecturers.

Paddy Carr, who didn't live in the county, did 2 years. Val Andrews, who didn't live in the county either, did 2 years as well. Eamonn McEneaney who resides there and manages an Intermediate side currently, did 4 years

The current manager Aidan O'Rourke, is currently employed as "full-time GAA Development Officer as Queen's University" (Handy!!) but possibly has a teaching background. He also had his brother Martin appointed as a selector. Martin is a secondary school teacher

North Cork Star

From Cork, on the Hurling team - Anthony Nash, Pa Cronin, Luke O'Farrell are teachers, and on the Football team Paddy Kelly is a teacher!
Teachers have nice hours to commit to GAA teams!!

I'm amazed that Cyril was apparently born in 1950. This means he was only 30 when he managed Galway to win the All Ireland in 1980. Has there ever been a younger winning manager?
