Short trip to Waterford ?
Waterford job
Waterford or even Galway job maybe!! Say he is in the mix for some job.
@Damien Pyne: DJ has very little experience. Dont think either county would entertain him.
@t: Success as Carlow IT Fitzgibbon manager, Kilkenny U20 manager and I’m sure he’s done a fair bit of underage and club management. What more experience do you need to have before getting a county job?
@Clay Davis: A smaller scale county job be much more appropriate. Look at Eddie Brennan and Mick Fenelley. Both started at smaller scale stages. Big difference in a senior county set up compared to a colleges or u20 set up where by it’s a 3 month spell
@t: shows how little you know, he’s got huge experience over a number of years grinding it iut with club, college and county underage sides.
@t: Waterford probably shouldn’t consider themselves a huge job at the moment with the way the past two years have gone. They haven’t won a game
@Clay Davis: agreed,it’s not the Barcelona job he’s taking on,it’s an amateur game in a small country,people getting totally carried away with experience,he was one of the best hurlers to play the game,he knows it inside out.
Cody stepping down???
Dr Evil.
Word has it he’s going in with Brian for a couple of years before he retires
