Why do you say you are not shocked about this Bucko?
From the sound of things Buckley will be a massive loss to the set up.

Mickey Ned was happy to let all the training sessions to Donie Buckley when they were in charge of Limerick.
I always wondered whether or not Jack would be happy with such delegation and whether or not Donie would be happy to take a back seat or not implement his own ideas if Jack decided he wanted more time on the training field.
Let me state that I have no clue as to what has gone on but I always feared it would end up like this.

Ya I was thinking it would be that alright Buck,thanks.Would have to agree with you there.I think we were very lucky to have a man like Donie Buckley training us and may now struggle that he is gone.

Ultimately it is Jack O'Connor that manages, trains etc.
Personally I feel that Kerry had a very average league and I worry about the summer ahead.

According to some media reports - The Irish Examiner to be specific on Monday (Tony Leen) and Today (Mike Quirke) some Kerry players are unhappy about this turn of events. I'd rather not be reading about it even if some players are unhappy with this development - this should be kept in-house. I'm sure Jack will make those players fully aware that this is not a ready-made excuse to fail.

There's never a good time to lose a member of the back room team but on the eve of the Championship, this is even worse.
And we're back to that old chestnut again in terms of the media. No lessons learned there either.

I think this Buckley situation is being blown out of proportion to be honest. He hasn't been involved all year, and has now decided to step away for whatever reason. Poor form on his part to let the players and fellow management down. He was seemingly very good at his side of things but ultimately wasn't committed to the cause. He'll be quickly forgotten.

Absolutely ridiculous post; Donie is a very fine coach and also a partisan Kerryman; there was no one more delighted to be involved with the Kingdom than he; he was absent for the greater part of the league as he had a knee operation at the end of Feb and had to take time out to recuperate; to suggest otherwise is foolhardy and unfair to the guy. When he returned to the fold he was offered a role as a selector but a lesser role in coaching and fitness which is his forte- obviously things did not work out but not due to his lack of commitment and he definitely will not be forgotten. |

Donie refined the players tackling technique,and was responsible for some of the attacking plays last year e.g darrens goal v cork last year was from his manual.If anything he should have had an enhanced role this year,and he will be missed.Seasoned watchers of kerrys sessions have noticed the way training sessions evolved rather than planned,with all coaches trying to squeeze their own stuff in.If players have misgivings,Jack who presumably will take on coaching mantle,will have to challenge players and come up with new tricks.Communications in this management set up could be better,but hopefully is a blip rather than major matter.

If some well-liked Kilkenny fitness trainer left Kilkenny mid-season dont think you would hear too many negative vibes emanating from their camp. The players would have too much respect for/fear of Cody. |

Kingdom to bring back Fitzmaurice
15 May 2012
Kerry manager Jack O'Connor with Ger O'Keeffe and Eamon Fitzmaurice.
Eamon Fitzmaurice is set to rejoin the Kerry senior football backroom team.
The current county U21 football manager acted as a selector under Jack O'Connor in the past and has been invited back into the think-tank following the departure of trainer Donie Buckley.
Fitzmaurice is believed to have indicated that he is prepared to return after Kerry's Munster SFC clash with Tipperary at Thurles on Sunday week.
The former All-Ireland winning defender left the senior set-up when he took over as Kerry U21 manager for the current season but the Finuge clubman will now assist Alan O'Sullivan with training the squad.

Donie Buckley is top of James Horan's shopping list to be Mayo's football coach in 2013.
Buckley is wanted by Horan, who has agreed to remain on as manager for three more years, to fill the vacancy left by Cian O'Neill after he stepped down in the wake of the All-Ireland final defeat to Donegal last month.
Buckley was coach to Kerry when they lost the All-Ireland final to Dublin last year but, having had to take time out due to a knee problem, he did not return in 2012 when it became clear he was only required for a role as a selector.
He is highly regarded, though, and his departure is known to have caused disquiet among the Kingdom players this year.
Buckley coached Limerick for three years under Mickey Ned O'Sullivan's management and was a joint manager with Clare before Paidi O Se's arrival. He's based in Ennis and the journey to Mayo may yet prove prohibitive, but the challenge of working with another top-six team will be strong.
O'Neill is expected to be unveiled as one of Eamonn Fitzmaurice's Kerry back-room team on Monday night. Mikey Sheehy and Diarmuid Murphy are also expected to be on that ticket.

We can only assume from this that whoever decided not to ask Donie Buckley would have believed that he would be duplicating roles with Eamon Fitzmaurice.
Donie Buckley has a great reputation as a coach if we can do better than that great but surely he could have had some inlvolvement especially if he was highly thought of by the players.
I dont think Horan is a mug though.

He's swapping places with O'Neill thescore.thejournal.ie/donie-buckley-mayo-senior-football-gaa-645993-Oct2012/DONIE BUCKLEY WILL join the backroom staff of Mayo’s senior football panel for the 2013 season, it has been announced tonight. Former Kerry trainer Buckley, who also had spells with Limerick and Clare, becomes the newest addition to James Horan’s team, which lost out to Donegal in the All-Ireland SFC final last month. A short statement released this evening said: ”The Mayo County Board can tonight confirm that James Horan has added Donie Buckley to the Mayo Senior Football Management Team for 2013. We are delighted to have acquired the services of someone as talented as Donie Buckley and look forward to working with him.” |

It will be interesting to see how he gets on. I wish him well. It adds another layer of interest to the first league game in Castlebar with the two counties more or less swapping their coaches of a year ago.

I cannot understand the logic of allowing Donie go to another county. Now, I have never met Donie so I have no allegiance to him from a personal point of view. However, everybody I have spoken to about Donie, both within and without the county, speak about him in awe. That is not hyperbole. So, where is the problem? Has it a personality background? I have heard a lot of the players coming out in support of him.
Does anybody here know what the issue might be? For example, would Donie's role be the same as the one Cian O'Neill is about to assume? In any case, if I understand the situation correctly, he seems to be assuming Cian O'Neill's role with Mayo.
I am always nervous when Kerry play a team who feature a Kerry personality in their mentor bank, especially one with the apparent expertise of Donie. He sounds like a guy one would prefer to have one's side. I do wish him luck but no luck when Kerry and Mayo confront each other.

This is only a guess, but it would seem that he and Jack didn't part on good terms. Therefore maybe the powers that be felt to bringing him back would look like a slap in the face to Jack? I wouldn't make a big deal about this. It's a good thing to change personalities within management/coaching every so often. It keeps players interested and engaged. I'm sure Cian O Neill will bring things to the set up which Donie never could. And vica versa Donie will do likewise with Mayo. |

The swap move leaves one (well me anyway ) a bit uncomfortable and from all feedback I have consumed , Donie only strenghtens any team he's involved in. So Cian's addition is most certainly a good thing, modern coach with modern fitness managment skills and now decent experience. Donie's involvement with Mayo is not a good thing for Kerry, regardles of any "freshen up" argument. It would be better if he was travelling to Tralee/Killarney a couple of times a week instead of Mayo.
One other thing - Horan for sure is no mug. In the final he let his body language armoury down a bit. His fwd line malfunctioned seriously, specifically in ball retention, he knew they had a chance during the second half, and bascially coughed it up. He knows I believe what is required to lift Sam and he has the base of a team that can deliver it - he's not staying on for the "craic" - 1 more proper good forward and a fit Andy Moran and further removal of naivety and simple errors and they will go very close again
