A legend of a man, I wouldn't be the greatest hurling fan only really getting into it but Cody was a force of nature, I wish him well in retirement, maybe he'll still take on another job. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2756 - 23/07/2022 15:38:46 2433739 Link
You have to acknowledge greatness. For a game that prides itself on the toughness of its players the rest of the hurling world generally turned to jelly whenever they played his teams. As a hurling fan I can only hope that we never see one county dominate the championship the way his teams did for the first 16 years of his tenure.

typical kilkenny co board, go public with the story this weekend, try take away attention from the football final Stmunnsriver (Wexford) - Posts: 2845 - 23/07/2022 15:46:55 2433743 Link
Replying To Cockney_Cat: "Thanks for everything Brian. Enjoy your 'retirement'. As for Shefflin, I'll be surprised if he's even considered, let alone his own feelings. I'm sure this situation happening would have arisen in his interview for the Galway job. As for the KK job, he's missed the boat this time. Plenty of other good candidates about." You'd rule him completely out? I'm sure there are plenty of candidates but at the very least he's surely a candidate for it? I'd be surprised if Eddie Brennan got it for example. Doubt they will rush into it. Realistically they have a couple of months to sort it out but they won't want to delay much longer either. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 23/07/2022 15:54:11 2433745 Link

Who'd be realistic forerunners at this stage? Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 1913 - 23/07/2022 16:01:37 2433748 Link

Maybe he needed a few days to make up his mind. Maybe the co. board decided for him. ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 1136 - 23/07/2022 16:01:46 2433749 Link
Replying To OhtobeARossie: "That's the way to keep the talk about hurling on all Ireland football weekend. Waited 24 years just couldn't wait 4 or so days." You are talking about Kilkenny and Brian Cody. All Ireland football weekend may enter his consciousness as much as the kabaddi championship in India.

I heard he is being linked to the vacant Waterford job.......... ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 1136 - 23/07/2022 16:08:10 2433754 Link
Replying To Square_B: "Strangers things have happened... I was surprised to hear it during the week... the man owes nothing to Kilkenny but look if he felt it was time to go sin é. I'd hope that no one in Kilkenny was pushing him to go. Not sure who else would be in for Kilkenny, Eddie Brennan maybe?" Hope so; ) Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 12025 - 23/07/2022 16:18:37 2433756 Link
Replying To Stmunnsriver: "typical kilkenny co board, go public with the story this weekend, try take away attention from the football final" Fair play to him! The best manager ever can do what ever he wants! I forgot the football final was even on. ecad123 (Galway) - Posts: 272 - 23/07/2022 16:20:37 2433757 Link
Replying To Viking66: "Hope so; )" Be careful what you hope for might not work out great for us either. Tiger1 (Wexford) - Posts: 239 - 23/07/2022 16:47:07 2433765 Link

Unique, superb, brilliant, words are not enough to describe Brian Cody. Nobody will fill his shoes, ever. Can't see King Henry been considered for the next manager. Magpie2 (Wexford) - Posts: 277 - 23/07/2022 16:54:11 2433770 Link
Happy retirement to Brian. I've enjoyed watching some great teams and matches he's been involved in producing down through the years. The likes of DJ, Sheff, Walsh, JJ, TJ etc etc what a memoir he must have from it all! Big boots to fill now that he's gone. SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2386 - 23/07/2022 17:07:16 2433775 Link
Replying To Tiger1: "Be careful what you hope for might not work out great for us either." Think I'd rather him there than Lyng, who I think will get the job. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 12025 - 23/07/2022 17:07:28 2433776 Link
Regardless of whether Cody is there or not Kilkenny will always be All Ireland contenders… They contended before there was a word of Cody and they will contend when he is gone….. nothing much will change… ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 1943 - 23/07/2022 17:11:24 2433777 Link
He broke our hearts in limerick on a few occasions..he has been the best gas manager of all times..he has rebuilt the cats I just don't know how many times..even last Sunday managing dj,s son showed how long he's there ..enjoy the retirement but the new manager is on a hiding to nothing..I don't think we,ll ever seda team dominate hurling like the cats..well we can dream in limerick and hope it continues..
