Jack O'Connor is a former Gaelic football manager of the Kerry Senior football team.

Managerial career

Jack, a Dromid Pearses man, [http://www.piarsaighnadromoda.com/] has won the All-Ireland with Kerry on two occasions, in 2004 and 2006. Both his All-Ireland wins were against Mayo. Kerry also won the National Football League in both those years. O'Connor considered resigning after Kerry's 2006 victory, although county board chairman Seán Walsh wanted him to stay on. [http://www.hoganstand.com/Kerry/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=66606] O'Connor finally stepped down, along with his backroom staff (selectors Ger O'Keeffe and Johnny Culloty and trainer Pat Flanagan) on 16 October 2006. [http://www.rte.ie/sport/2006/1016/kerry.html] . His final decision to step down as the manager was said to be for personal reasons. Kerry's county chairman Seán Walsh was disappointed by the final decision but made a point of acknowledging O'Connor's successes as manager. Few managers have achieved his successes in such a short period of time; two all-Irelands, two Munster championships and two National League division one titles. [http://www.rte.ie/sport/2006/1016/kerry.html] [http://www.gaa.ie/plugins/newsfeed.cgi?rm=content&plugin_data_id=15420] O'Connor was the first Kerry manager to take Kerry to three all-Ireland final since Mick O'Dwyer.
