It’s not gonna be an easy job to follow in his footsteps plenty of talent there and plenty coming thru the underage ranks anything other than another championship would be seen as a failure for the next manager.
Tullamore have a good team, they will be fancied to win the Dowling Cup next year. Any idea who will take over from Niall Stack?

You'd imagine that someone from his management team this year might step up and keep the flow of the last few years going. Cathal Daly was a selector so surely he would be an obvious candidate and one of a few that may be asked. Ken Furlong who oversaw a lot of the underage transformation would also be in picture while you'd imagine Benny O'Brien after his success with Ballinagar and his track record with St Brigids etc would also be in the picture. Would be very surprised if it was not one of these three and Tullamore generally go for someone within their own club.

I saw on the hoganstand website that Pascal is back in Rhode. Very good appointment as they attempt to get back to the top.. my hunch says Hattie new rules will suit teams with good forwards and I think Rhode still have the best individual talent up top. This coupled with the departure in Tullamore will certainly make it interesting. Can’t see it being anything outside of the big 3 again though.
