Replying To Sweetspot:  "The issue for me and any other Kildare folk I talk to, is we've all seen what the lads on the team can do. We saw it vs Mayo in Newbridge. We saw it in the follow up super 8 games, where a bounce of the ball in a couple of games would've had us in a semi. We saw it in this years league, vs Meath. We saw it in the u20s who won the all Ireland without the best player at that age group in the county.
Kildare need someone that can install the confidence and pride in the players that will have them producing that kind of performance for 70+ minutes, week in, week out and anyone that lines a team up for damage limitation vs a vulnerable Dublin, is not that man."
I agree with you there is very good potential in that kildare squad, I don't know if ye had the potential to beat the dubs this year though, it looked to me that any time ye got a score even when ye got the goal that the dubs could put the boot down and stretch the lead back to 6, in fairness in the second half Jack should probably have trown caution to the wind and went man on man and had a go.

Anyway I wish ye well in yer search for a new manager and best of luck to ye next season.

Replying To FoolsGold:  "1 Leinster Final. Meath beat Kildare last year in the Semis. Kildare put up a poor showing against Dublin in the Leinster final, when Meath asked more questions in the semi."
You're right it was 1 leinster final.
