Good luck to Joe Schmidt. He did a good job with Ireland Rugby. But I wonder why the august Sports editors of our media decided to ignore Brian Cody. He has won 10 All Irelands with Kilkenny. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2513 - 22/12/2014 11:03:39 1679744 Link 0 |

Has he not won enough!!! WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 22/12/2014 11:55:24 1679752 Link 0 |
because only the ai he won this year counts to this years award and winning a six nations with ireland is a harder achievement then an ai with kilkenny imo. jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1159 - 22/12/2014 11:58:38 1679753 Link 0 |
Congrats to joe, he did a fantastic job with the Irish team, hopefully he'll do the same in 2015. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 22/12/2014 13:14:48 1679769 Link 0 |
Don't think Cody should have got it. Bringing in Kieran Joyce for the replay was a winning move but bringing on Henry in the drawn game backfired. He's moving towards Hall of Fame territory now though! Think Eamonn Fitzmaurice was a stronger candidate than Cody for the 2014 award to be honest. Kerry played super smart football throughout, minus Colm Cooper to boot. roundball (Tipperary) - Posts: 2514 - 22/12/2014 14:11:07 1679778 Link 0 |
Eh Schmidt won a few friendly rugby matchs. Shocking stuff. Should have been Cody. daytona11 (Kildare) - Posts: 4012 - 22/12/2014 14:55:19 1679787 Link 0 |
I'd say Kilkenny won more handy matches than the entire Irish rugby team ever will!!! WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 22/12/2014 15:07:46 1679791 Link 0 |
has cody won it before?...on the gaa side of things felt fitzmaurice was the best candidate considering he won the all ireland with a very unfancied kerry side....dont think many can begrudge schmidt though hes done a very good job fabio8 (USA) - Posts: 2182 - 22/12/2014 15:44:04 1679795 Link 0 |

Although the actual winning of trophies is what probably decided it for Schmidt, you cannot question his fantastic year as a MANAGER. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 4978 - 22/12/2014 17:11:41 1679809 Link 0 |

Brian Cody has won a Philips Sports Manager of the year award. Not to my knowledge an RTE Manager of the Year. I mean Davy FitzGerald won it last year! Brian Cody has 10 All Irelands which makes him the greatest GAA manager of all time. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2513 - 22/12/2014 20:17:15 1679826 Link 0 |
I dont really care who gets this award but the argument of "He should get it because he won X All Irelands" seems a bit silly. Once Cody won 8 after 2011 he held the record, did that mean he was manager of the year? Then get it again once he won 9, and again after he won 10?

Ormond - no expert on the rugby but did England not beat Ireland in the six nations in Feb? Irish rubgy team were not unbeaten all year. blacknamber (Kerry) - Posts: 267 - 23/12/2014 09:23:16 1679855 Link 0 |

There is more to be gained for rte, having a rugby sports manager of the year than there is to having a hurling manager from a county of 60000 people. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 23/12/2014 10:18:49 1679860 Link 0 |
