Back in 2003, Ó Sé, like Harte, wanted a one-year extension to his time in charge after an All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Harte's Tyrone. But it wasn't forthcoming, ending Páidí's seven-year management of county in somewhat acrimonious circumstances. The timing here is about the same but the circumstances aren't altogether similar with Harte and Louth now. For a start, there wasn't much acrimony in the air when Harte confirmed his departure from Tyrone after 18 years there just 10 days ago. Instead he has thrust himself quickly back into a role that will have its limitations but where relative successes can be enjoyed.
