Thanks for your support!
There's more to this. Maybe he's pulling a Ricky and quitting a failed drug test.
I smell a conspiracy.....
Wow. If this is true, then I must admit that I was WRONG.
I felt we should have selected him a round earlier than we tried to, and look what would have happened: He quits.
Holy cow. I mean, I am just floored.
He is not just a quiter there is merit behind this just wait.
I don't think he ment it like that but I won't speak for him.Bring up a point, did he quit or retire?

Nobody knows the whole story yet, but the guy quit.
You announce a retirement, at THAT stage of a career, then it's either an injury or drug problems or doesn't want to play anymore.
I didn't think his injury was career-ending. Doesn't seem to be a druggie. I have my money on the reason being a lack of interest in playing. Just a hunch.
That would be rare but nope. Why do you love to quote me anyway?If he lost the passion for the game, is he a quitter?

So, he was in it for the cash? Humm. Maybe. He almost would be stealing money then by not waiting for his contract to exspire.What does it matter how I meant it?
Why am I suddenly under the microscope here.
Players usually "retire" because their body can't take it anymore. Unless he has an injury or illness that means he can't compete, then he "quit" IMO.
If he found something else, fine by me. But it doesn't negate the fact that he quit. The real story here is how close we came to getting this guy. Wow.

He just qoutes me a lot and I'd like to know why.Are you OK? You seem to be on the attack here.

He still did not ad hear to it for some reason like he should have which is not right. We don't know why yet.If he were in it for the money, he would not have quit. He would play out his contract and give the minimum of effort. That, to me, would be stealing from the company.
But he got his guaranteed money, via the bonus that you get when you sign the contract. Now he's been on a salary, which means he gets paid not on future work but on each game he plays.
Once he retires, the 49ers owe him zero dollars. Unless there is some sort of pension type thing going on. I just am pretty sure that once he said "I'm done" and he signed the papers stating his retirement and making it official, he's no longer getting contract money.
Haha, found this on the 9ers forum .
If true, then that would be sad if you ask me. I have not ever been forced into anything nor known some one who has been? So, how do you deal with that thus allowing it to happen? I honestly do not know.He might have just lost the competitive fire. Maybe he never liked football in the first place? Might have had folks that forced it upon him at a young age.

Per Maiocco, Coffee exits the game after drawing the ire of position coach Tom Rathman by getting blown up by Mike Balogun on a blitz.
Last memory of Coffee at 49ers practice yesterday morn. He got pancaked by Mike Balogun on blitz, and RB coach Tom Rathman was not pleased.
That's amazing! Think about how much grief gk would have had, had he picked gc in the third round last year.
He might have been forced into footballl through his school but give it up in college or before then. Some may say he should have just played through his deal and not just walk away and they have a point. But, if he has indeed lost his interest then he might just be doing his team a favor.I've seen it happen plenty of times. Having parents force you into a sport or something because they are trying to live their lives through their children. Hasn't happened to me personally, but i've seen it. I doubt an adult really can really be forced into something once they get to the college level, so that probably isn't the case with Coffee. My guess is he just lost his competitive edge.

Mike Singletary rubs me (as a general fan) the wrong way. I'm not a fan of his antics despite him making the 49ers into a better overall team. I remember thinking... man it's going to suck playing for Singletary. He's like a Lombardi with some Buddy Ryan sprinkled in. A little old school.It seems that Singeltary's trainning camp is rubbing a lot of players than wrong way.
Kentwaan Balmer is apparently skipping out as well
Coach Mike Singletary was glad RB Glen Coffee made his decision now and not later. "I respect his honesty and respect him for not going through the motions," he said, adding, "I'm looking for 53 men who love football."
Coach Mike Singletary described his conversation with RB Glen Coffee. 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 added that he appreciated Coffee told him face-to-face.
Coach Mike Singletary explained RB Glen Coffees attitude. His demeanor was, I really hate to lay this on you, coach. But since college, my heart just hasnt been in it. As a matter of fact, I came out early because my heart wasnt in it, Singletary said.
Think he would have to pay a portion of his signing bonus back if he has actually quit/retired.
If I were the 49ers, I'd want my money back, if he is not going to honor his end of the agreement. I understand guaranteed means guaranteed, but I don't think it means guaranteed.
Know what I mean?
Just wow. Maybe we all should look at this as him having the heart to come out and say it which in that case the team should be glad because at least he did not show it in the games. I say allow him to work out the money side of things and just let bygons be bygons JMO.
