Replying To TheBlackDeath:  "Galligan's stepped down rather than going for the third year. Probably the right move overall. Fair play to him for taking on the job and backing himself. And thanks to him for making the personal sacrifices to do it. Great servant as a player, but ultimately the heat of championship battle exposed him for what he was, a rookie manger. Sure we played strong teams this year, but bar the Mayo game this looked like a team without a plan, pace or passion. Humilation against Donegal and Tyrone, handily beaten by a Kerry side in second gear. Getting cleaned out on kickouts and no tactical answer coming from the sideline. The Donegal game is telling. We're matching them well first half, then Jim McGuinness uses his bit of wiliness and starts a row and gets his team and supporters fired up before half-time. We implode second half for the worst championship defeat in our history. Nothing from the sideline to stop it, in fact may even have exacerbated it. There will surely be some retirements from the panel before 2026 and a transition period, so maybe makes sense to have a new manager for that. Who that is, hard to know. Doubt we're too attractive a proposition, same as when Galligan got the job, and that hasn't changed under his tenure. We're firmly in the second tier of Ulster teams below Donegal, Tyrone, Derry and Armagh. The gap to them seems to be growing. Not doing great at underage or schools, though there are some decent prospects and in Paddy Lynch we've a proper top-class scoring forward to build the team around."
