Nor could he compete with such financial muscle. . .

What he has achieved will unlikely be rivalled in Tyrone and deserves the height of respect, but he is unable to get them above a certain level now, maybe it's time for someone else to have a go? I don't agree it's disrespectful for someone to challenge for the job either when his contract is up. A very Irish attitude. Let there be a process and the decision taken for the best man in 2020/21, not years gone by.

Trump has already been voted out.

Saying its disrespectful in someone challenging for his position is sticking head in the sand. Can he really bring anything fresh to tyrone at this stage.
He has been the head coach for 17/18 years but how much further can he bring the side.
surely its time for a new voice, new attitude to playing.

That's all true, but why are Kilkenny still with Brian Cody? They aren't the team they were, and no longer one of the favourites for Liam Mccarthy.

I'm surprised Cody stuck around after Shefflin, Delaney, Walsh retired. They made the All Ireland final last year against the odds. Tyrone were in final in 2018.

Sticking head in the sand surely, I don't think there is a contradiction in saying Harte is a legend but simultaneously saying it's time to change things up now for them.

Yes he's gone, end of an era for Tyrone, one of the greats for sure. I wish him well in retirement, unless he takes up some other job, he has vast knowledge and experience he would be some help to one of the weaker counties.
Who takes over next? Canavan? Ricey?

I can't see how.

Of course they can go backwards, but they definitely weren't going any further under Harte.

They've the players to challenge for the All Ireland. No question.

If its true it will be very interesting. Harte owes Tyrone nothing and he could come back again but I do think they need a new voice. They have the talent. What about Peter the Great?

why?
He's been there nearly 20 years. Did a lot of great stuff but time/game moves on.

Whoah Micky gone. Huge news. Moving and shaking in Tyrone by the looks of it, hope it doesn't leave a lingering enmity.

Have huge respect for Micky on a number of fronts and owes Tyrone nothing, will go down as one of the good ones and brought much innovation and creative thinking to the game, a big part of its evolution i of the game in my opinion.
