Well with an attitude like that we might as well pack up and go home, hand the job to Micky Mcdonagh as someone else suggested.Behindthegoal wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 12:23 pm Why not him? Because why on earth would he want to come to Offaly? A division 3 team who got slaughtered in the tailteann cup. He’s a proven coach/manager and could virtually get any gig in the country he wants I’d imagine Offaly would be well well well down his list
I do know the CCC are meeting tonight, not sure whether that means a county board meeting too?Plain of the Herbs wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 7:04 pm The Chairman, the Secretary, the Treasurer and two others appointed at a county board meeting. So nothing will happen until the committee is formed - is there a county board meeting this week, does anyone know?
No I never said give the job to Mick Mcdonagh but the way you said “oh nobody’s mentioned Cian O’Neill?” I wonder why? That’s like saying why hasn’t anyone mentioned Jim Gavin? Anyone who knows anything about Gaa knows Cian O’Neill has been one of the top coaches on the circuit for a long time. Yeah Offaly were in the same division as Galway for the first time in over 20 years and won 1 match by a point and are back down to our level now again. Maybe after getting Galway to division one winning Connaught and being level with the all-Ireland champions with five minutes to go he might actually stay with Galway? Or will he think actually no I’m going to swap this for a division three team who were embarrassed conceding 3-22 in the tailteann cup? To think we can get Cian O’Neill is delusional we aren’t in the top 16 teams in the country he wouldn’t come to Offaly in a million years and who could blame him.Anonymous1 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 6:32 pmWell with an attitude like that we might as well pack up and go home, hand the job to Micky Mcdonagh as someone else suggested.Behindthegoal wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 12:23 pm Why not him?

O’Neill’s stock has no doubt risen this year because of Galway’s run but back at the beginning of the league when Offaly and Galway were in the same division, was anyone saying he was above us then? Or when he was only a coach with the Cork footballers in 2019 when low and behold they faced Offaly in division 3...
The Meath job is gone, applications for the Mayo job have closed leaving only the Donegal, Roscommon and Monaghan jobs that are more attractive than Offaly’s.
We should atleast be in for him, it’d be an opportunity for him to get back into senior inter-county management and have a free hit at getting us up to division 2, further rising his stock and putting his name on everyone’s list in 2-3 years for the top counties in the country.
Well there you have it folks, Cian O’Neill is now on the same level as Jim Gavin... If he’s as highly regarded as you say, why is his name never mentioned in contention for any big jobs?Behindthegoal wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 1:47 amNo I never said give the job to Mick Mcdonagh but the way you said “oh nobody’s mentioned Cian O’Neill?” I wonder why?
