    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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]
