As you know this is a subject I am particularly interested in. My preference is for a proven inter-county manager with relevant experience with minors / U21's. Pete McGrath would fit the bill perfectly for me, but our CB don't have that level of imagination and wouldn't spend the money anyway. Alternatively, I would welcome a local coach / manager provided there was some link to Val Andrews in a mentoring capacity. Val is also well qualified when it comes to Minors, but he can't do both jobs. I have attended a few of James Lovett's coaching courses and I have always been impressed by his contributions, particularly his defence preparation. I don't know what he'd be like as a Manager, but he certainly knows his coaching and he would be a fresh candidate. Others mentioned from the past management are damaged goods as far as I'd be concerned.

Not sure about the manger side of James but as a coach he does know his stuff, the way things are right now in the money front why not give him the jod as manager trainer. I hope that N Lynch does not get it for the man does not have a clue sorry but this is true.

lovett was coach in cavan for years with 0 success being the result. TONY BRADY would be a good man for the job.

Tony brady was there before and had jelly,mckeever,gaynor,paddy and sean brady on the team and should have won an ulster .so when he couldn't win an ulster with that team he shouldn't be let near another cavan team.Gary Donohoe for job

i think nial lynch should go as cavan minor manager , he has a brillent knowledge of the game and has 10 in a row with virginia college and 2 all irelands ,better than anyone else

In my opinion, Niall Lynch would bring nothing to the minor position.Virginia won 2 all Irelands only had 4 training sessions and 1 challenge game in 2 years (Very very poor preparation[/), just a very good team of FOOTBALLERS came together at the same time.A person did not need any Football Knowlege to manage them. SORRY not the man for Cavan Football .

Lynch won 10 in a row beating football nurseries like BJD. The Voc. schools competition is 3rd div. stuff. McRory cup and Hogan cup is where its at. However Lynch deserves his chance.

i would let him have a go lovet had a lot of county senior players wen he was over it no good ulster final win needed

None of these lads are good enough.There going no where with any of them!

If there were so many good footballers in Virginia, how come the county minor team did not win a match for the two years that Virginia won their All Irelands. Lynch deserves a go. He won an Ulster County Vocational Schools title in 2003, two Ulster and All Ireland titles in 2006 and 2007. Virginia have won ten Senior County titles in a row. If it doesnt work out, so be it!

CC and diver, what a pair of mean spirited begrudgers

Vocational school isn't 3rd div it's completely seperate from the other two, interestingly kerry and tyrone schools have the most wins in the competition

you two are typical whingers, put down someone the first chance you get but offer NOTHING yourself!

No need to get so upset 'ochonlir'.Just making a valid and true point.No room for arrogant s or nastiness in Cavan GAA.

c.c. observer, just wondering what your valid and true point is. My brother played on this team and I can guarantee you that there were many training sessions throughout the year from September to the All Ireland final in April including training over Christmas, and February half term. All training in Virginia is done outside of school hours. In the same year Virginia played in the All Ireland Schools Soccer final. Your statement regarding poor preparation is farcical. Sounds like sour grapes to me.

What are you talking about they should be dealt with would you agree then if this is the case that the players involved at half time in the first match should be dealt with as well but as usual people in glasses houses ect.

Is spot on when he says N Lynch is not the man for the job he is a total waste of space, why not keep M Graham for another two years then rather than let Lynch loose on our future?? Look at what happened to our senior team under his guidence??

hornytoad , 08/11/2010 at 16:35
Yes after watching two very one sided matches you are right something has to be done about it but neither team will say no to a trophy.

Nial Lynch is a very good trainer,as is James lovett ,but neither would be good managers in my opinion
Gary Donoghue has had a couple of Senior teams the latest being Belturbet and he umped ship before the end of the season with a few league games left.
Jim Hyland na not for me,Dessie Reilly na,John brady possibly,is there anybody else

No one else just the 6. My 1 for the job is Niall Lynch or James lovett.... Not John Brady he has not won a thing on his own... Any word on interviews?

I applaud all seeking the job, but judging by the forum here, whoever gets it is going to be criticised anyway! They are all in for the love of the game/coaching, and want Cavan football to succeed, so quit being nasty and make up your minds to get behind whoever gets the job!!! The back room team of new manager will be very important too, not a one man show as some posters seem to think!!! We seem to be a county of small minded critics in armchairs who always know best!
