Conor McManus believes a man formerly associated with Jack O'Connor's Kerry coaching team could be pivotal to Mayo's hopes of pulling off an All-Ireland final upset. McManus highlights Tally's Mayo influenceWriting in the Irish Times this Saturday, Monaghan legend Conor McManus said that he felt coach Paddy Tally had been pivotal to Mayo's complete turnaround since the Connacht SFC defeat to Roscommon. It's hard to argue with Conor McManus that this looks to be all the work of Paddy Tally in the backroom team. However, it is his coaching work elsewhere that has won him even more plaudits in GAA circles. He would later help Down to the All-Ireland final in 2010.
