Replying To hontherossie: "Can we ignore our leitrim brothers. Brillant performance from meath yesterday, went toe to toe with galway and showed huge resilience when galway got back into the game as opposed to when we played galway and were made to look like a junior team. they were winners of the tailteann cup only 2 years ago. Showing you don't need to competing in division 1 football to develop a team for championship football. With all the managerial vacancies going now, its going to make it even harder to get in a top manager." They look a well coached team and the players have clearly bought into the plan and set up. Huge hunger and intensity and belief in themselves. The tackle ferociously and play a good direct kicking game. Not to mention they play with an edge soemthing that is badly missing from Roscommon teams. But it goes to show, we are not that far off them. And a semi final should be achievable with a better coached set up with complete belief and buy in from the players.

You are a fair bit behind Meath. They beat Galway, Cork, Kerry and Dublin in this years championship. Ye got beaten by Kerry and Cork. You didn't play Dublin

The fact that Roscommon will be playing in division 1 next year and have had good minor and under 20 teams recently, I would think that managing Roscommon would be an attractive proposition. Maybe some of the following people might be interested in getting a call from the county board. No doubt there are several others who might be added to the list.
Cian O Neill.
Philly McMahon.
Micky Harte
Kevin McManamon
Carl Lacey
Oisin McConville
Kieran Donaghy
Frankie Dolan
Stephen Rochford
Gavin Devlin
Conleith Gilligan
Johnny Cooper
Don Connellan
Andy Moran
Tony McEntee
Colm Collins
Mick Bohan
Not everyone will agree with some of the names above which is fair enough and others might want to add a few more to the list that are worthy of consideration.

Anyway moving on, would Coach Mickey Graham be a good shout for the top Roscommon job, he'd be available I'd imagine. I think everyone would rate Mickey highly in football circles in Roscommon.

If Meath were to play either of the big two in Connacht at the moment they'd beat them. As for ourselves, yourselves and Roscommon they'd beat the pick of us put together.

Replying To eoinog: "You are dreaming again. You are a fair bit behind Meath. They beat Galway, Cork, Kerry and Dublin in this years championship. Ye got beaten by Kerry and Cork. You didn't play Dublin" Did you watch our game v Meath? And we beat Louth and Monaghan in the league who bet Meath...what's your point? We beat Tyrone only a year ago and drew with Dublin two years ago. There is not a big gap there if you have the right coaching set up to bridge it. Look at Meath a year ago, a shambles.

Best to ignore eoinog, ɓlathach, boxty etc. They are all sad individuals who have a chip on their shoulder about the Rossies who will be playing in division 1 next year.

Replying To eoinog: "You are dreaming again. You are a fair bit behind Meath. They beat Galway, Cork, Kerry and Dublin in this years championship. Ye got beaten by Kerry and Cork. You didn't play Dublin" Roscommon also drew with Meath and earned promotion back to Div 1 instead of Meath. Meath also played Louth twice and lost to them, Roscommon beat Louth in Drogheda.
For 50 minutes that was not a high quality contest between Galway and Meath very error prone contest and low scoring. Last 20 minutes improved as got 4 goals and 11 points. Dublin have well and truly fallen back into the pack and even reaching the last 8 will be a challenge for them next year. Galway could never find any decent form, really should have been knocked out of the championship in the group stage by Derry. Meath's best win was against Kerry but got them on a bad day and Kerry was more like themselves yesterday against Armagh.

I've no chip on my shoulder regards Roscommon thanks. Some of my best friends are from the county. I just call things as I see them. You may not agree which is ok too. Id openly admit we are miles behind yourselves, who are in turn miles behind the top teams. Ye are an average team who yo yo between divisions one and two consistently but that is good. What id give for that for Leitrim. But to be considered a real top team you genuinely need better players and so forth. Not every manager/coach can be blamed surely.

Looking at your list letsgetgoing
Cian O Neill (has just joined Kerry and will likely be staying on for another while yet)
Philly McMahon (will probably be linked)
Micky Harte (will stay with Offaly well looked after there)
Kevin McManamon (stab in the dark there?)
Karl Lacey (recently appointed performance Lead to Donegal's academy)
Oisin McConville (probably one our county board would be interested in, Davy did better with Wicklow)
Kieran Donaghy (His experience so far is as a forwards coach with Armagh, false rumor link with us the last time)
Frankie Dolan (worth bringing in as selector or coach with whoever is the new manager)
Stephen Rochford (was approached by the county board before unlikely to go back a 2nd time)
Gavin Devlin (Louths underage football development co-ordinator a role he won't be leaving anytime soon)
Conleith Gilligan (might be available if McGeeney steps down)
Johnny Cooper (another stab in the dark?)
Don Connellan (dealing with his own health issues)
Andy Moran (will stay on with Monaghan so long as Mayo don't approach him)
Tony McEntee (again probably one our county board would be interested in. Mix views from Sligo people how he did there)
Colm Collins (a dark horse with plenty of experience)
Mick Bohan (turned us down before to stay with the Dublin ladies footballers, He's since stepped down from that role)

Philly Mc just appointed to Naas so probably won't go for an inter county role just yet. Might not catch the imagination but also Frankies cousin Dessie. Connacht Telegraph reporting that McConville is the front runner for the Mayo job.
Andy McEntee also available now, he has connection to Roscommon through his niece.

Between his basketball and football playing career and his coaching experience he's raw as an intercounty manager but has loads of potential.

You said you are not far away and I disagree. I pointed out how you got on in this years championship which wasn't good. League and championship are poles apart. Meath are a mid table Div 2 team and look at all the big names they have beaten who are all in Div 1. Louth are Div 2 but are Leinster champions . Monaghan went further than you also. Last year is past tense, no point going back there and definitely bo point going back 2 years. In hindsight it appears that the standard of football is quite poor in Connacht at the moment. Mayo and Roscommon finished last in their group and Galway limped through by the skin of their teeth and were beaten yesterday . I'm not having a deliberate 'go" at Roscommon I am just giving my opinion.

I do think the Roscommon job is a lot more appealing than the Mayo job.

Going to be big money thrown at the Mayo job so will be very appealing, McStay term with them had one of the most stocked and expensive management teams around. We somewhat had that year one under McStay which was cut in half by year two.

Worked wonders with Clare, as we discovered in the last 12, (twice).
