Yeah, I posted this over in Casino/FantasyPlanet.
Weird. Guy is a RB2 behind a guy known for being injury prone. He could have easily gotten a shot to start this year. |

He probably earned more last year than I will in my lifetime. Not too bad a move IMO. Got a nice monetary stash and got out before his body breaks down.

He could have at least waited until the middle of the game and done it Steven Slater style. You know, in the backfield before the play...just take the uniform off right there, take a beer out of your jockstrap, yell "I quit" and walk away.

Update (3:12): 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. "
Update (4:13): Some quotes from Mike Singletary, who said that he appreciated Coffee telling him the news face-to-face. “His demeanor was, ‘I really hate to lay this on you, coach. But since college, my heart just hasn’t been in it. As a matter of fact, I came out early because my heart wasn’t in it,’ Singletary said. "All I asked him was, ‘Are you sure? Have you really thought about this?’ He said, ‘Yes, I have. I thought about it for a long time." Singletary also said he was "sad" that Coffee quit because Coffee is an "exceptional young man." |

That makes more sense; gotta' respect the kid for not stealing money. Still, I have to wonder if he will wish he had stuck it out for a couple more years when it sinks in that he passed on million dollar pay days to play a game. |

It's too bad in situations like these you can't transplant his physical tools to some little engine that could with the heart and desire.
