Coffee Announces Retirement?


Recommended Posts

From Rotoworld

49ers backup RB Glen Coffee shockingly announced his retirement from football Friday.

 

Coffee was nowhere to be found Friday after missing Thursday afternoon's practice. He released a statement Friday afternoon, indicating that he's "moving on" from football. Coach Mike Singletary runs a notoriously tough camp, but there has to be more to the story here. Coffee was battling rookie Anthony Dixon for the No. 2 job behind Frank Gore. Dixon is now the clear "handcuff" to Gore.

 

:wacko:

Maybe he wants to be an artist or a hedgefund manager. Or a go to Africa and build fresh water wells. Or pour asphalt driveways in blistering heat wondering why in the hell he walked away from a $2.5 million contract.

CBS:

Coffee issued the following statement about his retirement: "This has been a tough decision for me, but at this time in my life I feel it's best for me that I move on from football. I appreciate what the 49ers, my teammates and coaches have done for me, and I wish them a blessed season and all the best in the future. "

This is odd but I'm not shocked because I had read before that Coffee just didn't seem eager, as if he didn't want to compete.

23 yr olds don't "retire" from anything, they "quit" things.

 

Not that following a spiritual path is a BAD thing, by any means; it just ain't retirement.

All kidding aside, this actually brings up an interesting discussion. Pat Tillman was called a hero for leaving football to serve his country. Coffee leaves football to serve a higher power and he's a quitter. :wacko:

Colts defensive lineman did the same a couple years ago. Quinn Pitcock. Drafted in third round and then retired. He surfaced this year in the Seahawks camp, said he was battling depression and an addiction to video games when he "retired".
