"The golf can wait. His grandson will have to keep working on his swing a little while longer. Dromid will still be there in a couple of years. All those reasons Jack O'Connor gave to soften up an exit as Kerry manager in that press conference after the All-Ireland final? They've all melted in the last four-and-a-half weeks like wax over an open flame."
"The golf can wait. His grandson will have to keep working on his swing a little while longer. Dromid will still be there in a couple of years. All those reasons Jack O'Connor gave to soften up an exit as Kerry manager in that press conference after the All-Ireland final? They've all melted in the last four-and-a-half weeks like wax over an open flame. In one sense, O'Connor's reappointment for a further two years, confirmed last night, is the most obvious thing in the world."
Jack O'Connor reversed earlier indications that he would step down as Kerry manager and accepted reappointment for a further two years. He had cited reasons such as wanting to play golf, spend time with his grandson, and return to Dromid to soften an exit after the All-Ireland final. Over the past four-and-a-half weeks, those reasons dissipated and no longer justified leaving. The reappointment was confirmed last night. The reappointment appears unsurprising given the developments since the final.
