Looks like this is the big addition to the backroom team to be announced tonight www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid-40230983.htmlAlso that article suggests that Keane was looking for a new football coach but when it didn't work out just promoted Maurice Fitz and has given the small fella from Armagh McGahan more of a role.

"Gavin Rackard and Kevin Beasley have been added to the county set-up. Rackard is performance nutritionist with Connacht Rugby while Beasley was Kingdom nutritionist previously under Éamonn Fitzmaurice."Two nutritionists. Is this really necessary?

The conceptual equivalence between GAA and extreme endurance may or may not have some parallel, but is this where we are lacking expertise? One doesn’t want to be knocking or criticising all the time but is this really the final piece of the puzzle? Rather than squeezing a square peg into a round hole, this appointment looks more like changing the shape of the hole itself. The process is now becoming like dating. You go out with someone and, if it doesn’t work, you dump them and move on.

We had a football coach and after a year it was decided that we didn't need one. Now it has been decided that we need a football coach again!!. Sure who in their right mind would get involved with a setup like this. You could be 3 months down the road and told you're not needed either. Every action has consequences.

What a load of nonsense. From what I heard McGaharn was coaching the kick out strategy last year. The management setup is becoming a bit farcical now.

I see that by the responses to this news that people are just as bemused as myself.
It all seemed like in 2014 that we really had our house in order from top to bottom, sadly it seems a million miles from that right now.

An endurance coach for the players is fine and dandy but what about an endurance coach for the supporters . Are we supposed to endure this garbage without any help?
Two nutritionists if you don’t mind but no sign of the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker.
Will somebody please confirm that these announcements are nothing more than malicious gossip due to people having nothing better to do in these weird times.

Maybe one for senior and one for u20 and minor. We need to plan for the future. We all saw the backroom team Dublin had and they have at least 2. Having two could lead to better micromanagement of the players health and fitness.

McGahan is an S&C coach and one of the few full time, paid staff of Kerry County Board. I would be very worried if he putting himself forward as a "football" coach and even more worried if this was accepted by the manager. I do think however that there may be a bit of an over-reaction to the Falvey thing - Caroline Currid was used by Dublin before she got involved with Limerick and she gets a lot of credit for her work. Although I can just imagine the reaction of the likes of Darragh O Se if he had shown up in the dressing room 15 years ago

Pat Falvey would be a good man to have on board if we have to play up the hill on that pitch in the Lidl Ad for ladies football.

It is funny that people think Pat Falvey is somehow there for endurance or hill climbing reasons.

Word on the street is that John O'Shea GOAL is linking up too. Heard before he has Cahersiveen connections and is good mates with Maurice Fizgetald. Not sure how or why but nothing surprises anymore!

I Think that is more to do with some charity work. As you know the Kerry defence in particular has been very charitable and accommodating in the recent past.

Spoke with Daniel O Donnell he said he would help the Kerry setup sing off the same hymn sheets. What is going on with Kerry football?🤦

Quite the opposite unfortunately vet- this was my post on 5th Feb when one of the panel was my source! " Anyway, I hear that Pat Falvey ( he of mountain climbing fame) has been added to the back room team along with a couple of nutritionists but we are still seeking a “ skills coach” - maybe Kieran Cronin is that man!"

Rumour in Dublin is that the reason Pat Falvey is joining the Kerry back room team is to ensure that Peter Keane gets safely down the Kerry mountains. Best of luck to both.

As a Kerry native I keep in touch with what is happening and see things from the outside looking in. Something pop into my head this morning over looking the bay. Kerry have won all Ireland titles at senior and minor levels in the last two decades with some very good backroom staff. My question is why non of the Fitness professionals that were involved with these teams are not involved today. I mean Pat Flannagan is one of the best in the business and won two all Ireland’s. Alan Sullivan has two minor and senior achievements. Chris Flannery 3 minor achievements, author Fitzgerald two minor achievements and yet Kerry go outside the county to build up their backroom expertise. There must be a reason or influence in these decisions, it is mind boggling way the expertise of these people are not involved.

DB would be held in high enough esteem as a football coach to not allow losing his job in the Kerry backroom setup affect his respected reputation. However, no new up and coming ambitious coach is going to get involved with a potentially career ending move into the Kerry coaching role. You could be out on your ear in months. Where would you go after that. It's been made an untouchable job. Anyway, PK's last year.

Podge Murphy was the main S+C coach for those 3 minor all ireland's you are associating Chris Flannery with, hence why he was kept and Flannery wasn't.

Will Jack Mac and Paul Mannion feature in this year’s Dublin panel? Connelly is calling on them to make themselves available, two very good players. It is hard for these guys to commit and hold professional jobs. It’s a the same I suppose for a lot of Gaa players.

It is hard for these guys to commit and hold professional jobs. It’s a the same I suppose for a lot of Gaa players. Now no disrespect to high-earners and most of who actually earn it and are worth it, spent penniless years in college, etc, but you are uncapping the wart here - take a baddie solicitor on the fiddle earning say €1,000 per hour, committing the the GAA would cost him, well €150,000 per month! Now there are solicitors who are worthy of what they earn, but not all of them. 'Playing-on' is a spectators dream but it isn't so for say raising a family and probably harder on less well off players. Risk of injury increases too and insurance won't be as good as a wage, and worse still after said gombeen solicitor has his lion's share, i.e. who actually fell off the ladder, the poor plasterer or, well our solicitor? Even as a babby I felt the anti-climax when Timmy 'Horse' Kennelly retired, I suppose you were conditioned into thinking the best was (always) yet to come and I can't say I blame myself for falling for that one. Then again fellas also hang on too long and managers weren't ballsie enough, did Cody shade Dwyer and Harte on that one but then again he had the pipeline? Now here's a wee Q that 'Fellow Forum Farmers' might help me with - What element of Paudie Clifford's game is down to David, and I am talking strictly 'on the field', i.e. home help is only admirable - someone tells me it is negligible but I'd like to be sure to be sure, over to you, said Fellow Forum Farmers ....
