Brendan Cummins wants to manage the Tipperary one day – but it's not easy to get back to Michael Ryan's departure.
Cummins is pleased that Liam Sheedy has returned to the post instead, while also sympathetic to Liam Cahill and Willie Maher – whose own claims went nowhere to the all-Ireland winning boss' has become known.
"When a character like Liam comes along," said the goalkeeping great.
"It's exciting times." I know I certainly owe a lot to Liam Sheedy and his management style.
"The Tipperary players are looking forward to get us back to where we feel we should be.
"That's the latter end of the summer, competing in Croke Park.
"While essentially Liam is going to put the systems in place, it's not playing out the field or the goals for Tipperary next year.
"So the players are going to drive it – and that, I think, is the message he'll be giving right from the start."
Cummins had been working with Kerry in a coaching role and will continue in some capacity next year.
The 43-year-old admits that being connected with the vacant Waterford post was flattering, but also inconvenient. Eventually, Paraic Fanning was appointed.
"It's amazing that I was installed as favorite, though I did not speak to anyone from Waterford, no phonecall," Cummins smiled.
"I'm working with Aviva now as an account manager around the south-east." "I'm working with Waterford, I love what I'm doing here."
"Some managers can be seen as professional.
"But when you're getting ready for a job, I'm not getting involved in that '.
"It's flattering, but there's a knock-on effect."
