I wonder if Dixon is showing the coaches more than Coffee, he knew this, so decided to split before he got demoted to 3rd string. Or it could just be some sort of personal matter, which would be my initial guess...

I'm starting to wonder if Camp Sing is so tough it takes all the fun out of football for these guys and then they don't want to play anymore.
It's called weeding out the pussies.
LOL. Who knows why he did this. Isn't he a very religious person? Maybe he had a vision -a calling of some sort. Maybe he knew he would lose out to Dixon.

Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald, who covered Glen Coffee at Alabama, believes Coffee is retiring to pursue the priesthood.
"Having covered 49ers RB Glen Coffee for 3 years, not surprised he retired," tweeted Rapoport on Friday. "He has a higher call. Wouldn't shock me if he headed to ministry." The 49ers retain Coffee's rights, but it sounds like his retirement is for good. He'll remain under contract through 2012.

Dude is gonna suck at being a priest too.

Oh it makes sense now. Dude was trying to walk on water when I thought he was trying to run. No wonder he never seemed to go anywhere.

GREAT! Michael Robinson once again finds a way to stay on the team....
we BETTER upgrade that position...we sawl what happened last year when Gore went down. We don't have Shaun Hill anymore to put this team on his back
That's what bugs me the most about this. A Robinson carry = loss of down.
Any of our FB's would be more productive carrying the ball.

Q: Could you describe his demeanor?
Singletary: "I just thought . . . I know he felt bad. His demeanor was, 'I really hate to do this. I really hate to lay this on you, coach. I love my teammates and I love what we're doing, but since college my heart hasn't been in it. In fact, I came out early because my heart wasn't in it.' Knowing Glen Coffee, he really felt awful. I'm thinking that he was thinking I'd really be upset with him. And that was not the case.
Punk azz knew it then and came out and cost us a third rounder.

I hope the dude enjoys working manual labor and struggling to pay the rent every month.

understandable its a tough sport, and it wears on your body pretty hard you have got to really want it. I respect Coffee's decision. If you played college ball then you know, but football just isnt as fun as it was in high school the college level on up.
