While coaching, he observed crumbling support and constant second-guessing, which many coaches would find disheartening. George expressed that he thought his vision and efforts could lead the Super Eagles to greater heights, but the behind-the-scenes antics made him question his role and commitment. It’s a stark reality that there’s often more happening beneath the surface in football management.

As he warns current head coach Eguavoen about his experiences, George highlighted the necessity for unity within the team and federation. "If they don’t respect you, it’s hard to make progress," he stated, nudging the importance of mutual respect and integrity.
