Replying To FullOfPorter:  "Any in-county management would need a really top class coach in there. Something we lack within the county. The only All Ireland club winning manager in the county is after leaving our neighbours and has managed us before. The next best experienced would be Fergie O Donnell and that is unlikely. Don Connellan also unlikely. Recent successful Brigids manager was a Kerry man but don't hear any talk of him being a runner and don't think there is too many shouting for Pat Flanagan.
Successful u21/u20 managers Nigel and Liam Tully. Nigel could be options but would still need a strong coaching ticket. Frankie still has a way to go for management credentials but again wouldn't be opposed in theory if he had a good coaching set up as well. I think Niall Daly, Cathal Cregg and some of those lads definitely have potential for the future. Would be great to see one of them involved in some capacity."
Should an intercounty manager need previous experience as a county manager? I'm not too sure he does, as you said he needs to be surrounded by top quality coaches some with intercounty experience.

Different code but look at what work rate and belief did for Tipp today. Unbelievable performance.

No I don't think so as long as they've a good head on their shoulders and some good coaches in there.

Generally need some even if that was with U20 or U17 team before.

What a manager they have, he won every thing from underage to the ultimate prize, they were training 3 nights a week in the gym before preseason. Maybe we could take a bit of inspiration from them as we have similar colours!!

Main inspiration would be the season Tipp had last year which was group stage exit like Roscommon this summer.

Hopefully we'll resort to our proper jerseys next year.
Will failure to qualify for the KO stages galvanise us to burst the boilers for next year?

First we need a manager.....

Tipp have a great tradition and record in All Ireland finals. They've always been hard beaten when they get to the final. 29 Finals won ,only 13 lost. They were outstanding today for a team with so many young players in their first final.
