[1] Undrafted in 1993, Coghill signed with the New Orleans Saints as a free agent, but tore a knee ligament in an exhibition game in Tokyo.
Following recovering from his injury, Coghill was allocated to the Scottish Claymores of the World Football League, where he became one of the short-lived franchise’s best players.
The following year, Coghill played nine regular season games as well as in Super Bowl XXXIII, during which he made a tackle on the opening kickoff and forced a key fumble late in the game, en route to winning a second championship ring.
[3] Coghill is married and has three children: two boys and a girl; his son George Coghill III accepted an offer to play football at Virginia Tech as a preferred walk-on after playing all four years of high school football at Mountain View High School.
As of 2020 Coghill is the head football coach at his alma mater James Monroe High School in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
