Hall returned to teach high school football after retiring, becoming the running backs coach at St. Anthony High School in Long Beach, California. He stayed there for three years before moving on to be the same position with the Cincinnati Bengals. During that time, he also worked as a color analyst for CBS Sports during NFL games.
After one season with the Bengals, Hall returned to his alma mater as the running backs coach under head coach John Bonamego. In 1999, he took over as the team's full-time running back coach. He remained there until 2001 when he was hired by University of Miami as its running backs coach.
At Miami, he helped recruit future NFL players such as Clinton Portis and Reidel Anthony. In 2006, he left Miami to become the running backs coach at Missouri under Gary Pinkel. He stayed there for three seasons before getting fired in 2009 after an incident where he grabbed a student reporter by the neck during an argument at a restaurant. He denied the allegation but was still fired from Missouri.
After leaving Missouri, he became the running backs coach at North Carolina State under Tom O'Brien. In 2012, he moved on to Pittsburgh to work under Paul Roethlisberger and James Franklin as the Steelers' running backs coach.
Jewett is interred in Ann Arbor's Forest Hill Cemetery. In March 2004, he was inducted into the Pioneer High School Hall of Fame. Since 2021, the winner of the rivalry game between Michigan and Northwestern has won the George Jewett Trophy, the first FBS rivalry trophy named for an African-American athlete.
George Jewett attended school in North Carolina before moving to Detroit to play football for Henry Ford College. He then went on to earn a scholarship to play baseball at Eastern Michigan University. During his time at EMU, the college football program under Bo Schembechler began to experience success, leading to many top recruits choosing to play ball for EMU instead of Michigan. This prompted the university's president to issue a ban on all sports activities including football. However, Jewish Villainy, as he became known, fought against this decision and helped lead the campaign to have football reinstated. The president of EMU eventually gave in and let Jewett play because he wanted to keep Detroit's only NFL team. After one season with the Eagles, Jewett joined the Michigan Wolverines as their halfback until he died during practice on August 24, 1971.
In addition to his work with EMU and Michigan, George Jewett also coached high school football in Arizona before returning to his home state of Michigan to coach baseball at Wayne State University.
