"To be honest, I would say it's 50/50, I think a lot of people would see it as a backwards step, but personally I don't."For me in the build up to this, I felt he was the only man to get the job, once he picked a very good backroom team with him. "For me, he is a manager, he's not going to coach a team. I'm hoping now, he will bring in a couple of very good bodies with him, for the coaching and stuff, but for me he was the only one."I'm also aware that I might be a bit biased, I had Jack for two stints, one of them he made me captain, and we won an All-Ireland, so I probably am a bit biased.
"He's a proven winner, I don't think Kerry can be going down the route of getting a new manager in, and hoping in the next two or three years, they will win an All-Ireland."I think it's pushing on eight years now, this season coming, and taking a chance on a fella is just not good enough, they need to start winning. "There's no point in being there or there about, they have underachieved in the last couple of years."
