Would be great to see Danny Owens in as selector as he knows the scene. I would be fairly sure that Owens would not be up to senior inter county management coming from KK reports despite their success. You dont hear the KK players looking to push it. There was more than Owens driving that bus and Owens didnt do whole lot with a good Westmeath minor team. That said, he should be asked to be involved along with other knowledgeable people as selectors etc with the team.
As for Paul Flynn, wouldnt know too much, but surely there has to be good people in Offaly. Have we got an inferiority complex about ourselves? Have we forgotten that we won a couple of All Irelands in the 90's and reached final in early naughties. That didnt happen with people who dont know a lot about hurling!

Surely guys like Paul Murphy who has lots of experience at club level should be an option as a selector along with Danny Owens M Duignan and k Martain .
Then use that experience as a stepping stone into management.
they way we going we will be never self sufficient in management because we are too lazy to develop guys. We get our the cheque book and spend money we don't have on blooding guys from other county into managers.
We need to reward club managers with a pathway into county managers in my opinion.
What really worries me is this is the third time that a rabbit has been pulled out of the hat by Boland and it is funny any more

They've taken the handy €100 a night gigs in club jobs in Laois, Tipperary and Galway on occasion all right, but you couldn't say that they've looked to develop themselves......
sam88885a wrote:Lone shark good post but those guy did play at the top level and if the were playing now with "better" training "better" coaches and generally a more professional approach they would be even better players and they would be at the top table in my opinion.
sam88885a wrote:There are 3 guys that I forgot that have done well as managers other that Danny Owens .Pat Fleury got us to an all Ireland final in 2000.Padraig Horan led us to league title in 1999 and Aiden Fogerty has won Kilkenny county title with O loughlan Gales.
Maybe we don't give our own enough credit..
sam88885a wrote:finally u clearly don't agree with Danny Owens game plan but its insulting to suggest that KK won 3 county titles in a row , broke birr winning game record by only having big strong hurlers .
U clearly never watch K Grogan ,great hurlers can give long killer passes to forwards from their own half back line.
......
Lone shark there more than one way to play hurling and it is always evolving but if u have decent forwards give them good early ball as Tip did this year.
