"Teams don't always get the immediate 'bounce' anticipated from the arrival of a new manager. Éamonn Fitzmaurice routinely recalls 2013 when Kerry lost the first four Division 1 league games of his stewardship, only scoring an average of a little under eight points per game against Mayo, Dublin, Kildare and Donegal before turning the ship around in the final three games."

Teams do not always experience immediate improvement after appointing a new manager. Éamonn Fitzmaurice cites 2013 when Kerry lost their first four Division 1 league games under his stewardship, producing an average of a little under eight points per game against Mayo, Dublin, Kildare and Donegal. The team then reversed course, improving across the final three games of the campaign. Early-season league results can therefore be poor despite managerial change, and midseason recoveries can follow extended periods of low scoring and losses.
