McNally began his coaching career for the University at Buffalo in 1965 and also coached at Marshall University, Boston College and Wake Forest.[1] McNally won himself a place in the U.B. Athletic Hall of Fame in 1982 in recognition of both his Bulls playing career (1961–1964) and also his coaching expertise.[2] He was inducted into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame in 2008.[3]
Since his retirement, McNally puts on an offensive and defensive line teaching camps and clinics [4] and serves as a volunteer fundraiser with the University at Buffalo.[5]
In the film We Are Marshall, which tells the true story of a football team that was reconstructed after a tragic plane accident, the character of McNally is played by Ron Clinton Smith.
