Nobody knew much about Corey as a manager, and it wasn't that long ago that we were used to seeing him in a Monaghan jersey, lining out with many of the stars that he is now in charge of.
Corey was adventurous in his tactics, chopping and changing plans to suit the opposition, and ruthless in his selection, dropping legends like Conor McManus, if he felt he needed to.
Of course, having a fresh voice, new ideas and a decent inter-county career doesn't guarantee success, just as having a cabinet full of medals from days past does.
The star studded backroom team brought in to help Galligan will make up for any gaps in his CV and only enhance his strengths further.
Stevie O'Neill is set to become the forwards coach, one of the deadliest sharp shooters to ever lace up a pair of boots, he will have Cavan's attackers bursting with excitement to get back onto the training pitch.
O'Neill isn't just a big name attraction either and was part of Mickey Harte's coaching team in 2018 with Tyrone that reached the All-Ireland final, and his work with Cathal McShane in particular helped him become the championship's top scorer the following year.
The Red Hand legend also worked as a coach with Antrim under Enda McGinley, so he will undoubtedly bring this wealth of experience to the team.
Eamon Murray is also on the staff, the man who transformed and revolutionised the Meath's ladies team, leading them from obscurity to back to back All-Ireland titles.
Joining him is Catherina McKiernan as a 'Life Coach', while Damien Keaney, and Ronan Flanagan, also bolster the roster to help Galligan.
With such a mix of talent, youth and experience, all they need is cohesion and we could see Cavan really take their game to the next level in the coming years.
Young stars like Paddy Lynch are ripe to burst onto that next level, and become real stars in Gaelic football, he just needs the right guidance and platform to do so.
