im sure you could name the last 5 mayo managers as they change manager more often than their socks, always get the blame for lack of success, prob 5 managers in 10 years would i be right, as where teams that enjoy success stick with their manager. boylan, kernan, harte, odwyer, mcgeeney :) some counties should stop blaming their managers and just realise they dont have the talent

Football: Eugene McGee
Hurling: Dermot Healy or Michael Bond. The way he rescued the All Ireland in 1998 was amazing

art mc rory. although micky harte won 2 all-irelands a league and ulster titles as well as loads at underage level, for which i say he is also a great manager, but art had to take a team who wern't used to winning and he hadn't got as much talent to work with. altough he didn't land the ultimate prize he laid alot of the founds and it was right to bring micky when they did because art had done all he could it just needed new ideas to add the finishing touches. its like building a house the man who laid the block had the toughest job but the painter made it look good.

No Contest here in deise land for me and my generation it has to be Justin Mc Carthy a Brillant man ,Gerald Mc Carthy was also top class but a wee bit unlucky. Now looking at Davy Fitzgerald I will give him a Fair chance. So far so good seems honest and enthusiastic.
Other managers who i admire are the Dublin Hurling Manager,The Present clare Manager and young Dooley from Offaly.
In the big ball code which im not a great Admirer of Mick o Dwyer stand head and Shoulders over everone else, I Also liked John Maughan When with Mayo again i feel he was a bit unlucky.

Autoreply junior, i know he took armagh for a year or so in early 90's, was a disaster, got rid and sent him packing to mayo for a laugh. Mayo were glad to get him though an armagh man who knows a little is better than a mayo man who thinks he knows alot. Mayo county board recognised this.
