The former Kildare manager was appointed in the last couple of weeks.
Kerry County Board insist that the process to appoint Jack O'Connor as their senior football manager was both "credible" and "transparent".
The three-time All-Ireland winning boss was formally ratified for a third-term last night, despite outgoing boss Peter Keane claiming he retained the support of the panel.
Chairman Tim Murphy also denied claims that O'Connor was the preferred candidate before the appointment process was started.
