There's definitely been progress in 2024 under Kevin McStay. No silverware but more games for newer players.
GreenandRed (Mayo)
---------------------------------------------
Last year won the league and reached the last 8 of the championship. This year finished mid table in Div 1 and didn't reach the last 8 of the championship. That's not progress and if definitely has been progress there wouldn't be anybody speaking up at that recent county board meeting. Armagh and Galway reaching the All Ireland final probably didn't improve the mood of those delegates who probably think Mayo should be at that level but think it's not possible in 2025 without a change in management?

Changing management won't bring them up to the level of All Ireland contenders. Was it a 3 year term MC Stay got ? If it was he should be left there

Mayo should be at that level.
Well yeah management makes all the calls the tactics, makes the team tick makes players happy to perform at their best.
Look at the state donegal where in last year a shambles..
They got to a semi this year with a top class manager so yes change in management can make a world of difference you can have great players but they won't perform at their best if not in the right positions or if there's a bad mood in the camp.

When are Mayo players going to accept responsibility themselves rather than getting rid of the manager. They have a history of dispensing managers and it hasn't done them any good. The players had enough chances to beat Galway this year and in the drawn match against Dublin when leading by a point in injury time Kilkenny was allowed catch a kickout, take his mark and set up the equalizer. Even if you go back to the game against Kerry in the league when you were down to 14 men you won a mark in a poor position because it was a non scoring back that won it. The ball was kicked wide, the kickout was worked to Clifford and he won it for Kerry.

Apart from 2015 when was a manager forced out by player pressure?
