Jack O'Shea - Management

Management

In 1992 Jack O'Shea was appointed manager of the Mayo senior football team. His two-year period produced one Connacht title. However, his time as manager was not successful as Mayo did not reach an All-Ireland Final. In his first year he won the Connacht title by beating Roscommon 1-5 (8) to 0-7 (7). But Cork hammered Mayo 5-15 (30) to 0-10 (10) in the semi-final. In his second year Leitrim, led by former Mayo manager John O'Mahony, beat Mayo 0-12 (12) to 2-4 (10) in the Connacht Final. Following the final O'Shea resigned as manager, stating that he had enjoyed management but was not planning to try it again. He has not managed since.

Famous quotes containing the word management:

    No officer should be required or permitted to take part in the management of political organizations, caucuses, conventions, or election campaigns. Their right to vote and to express their views on public questions, either orally or through the press, is not denied, provided it does not interfere with the discharge of their official duties. No assessment for political purposes on officers or subordinates should be allowed.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    This we take it is the grand characteristic of our age. By our skill in Mechanism, it has come to pass, that in the management of external things we excel all other ages; while in whatever respects the pure moral nature, in true dignity of soul and character, we are perhaps inferior to most civilised ages.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

    People have described me as a “management bishop” but I say to my critics, “Jesus was a management expert too.”
    George Carey (b. 1935)
