RB Glen Coffee announces retirement at age 23

PrintLike the title says, 49ers RB Glen Coffee announced his retirement earlier today. He informed head coach Mike Singletary of his decision earlier this morning. Since the news broke, we now know literally nothing else about the situation. We have a lot of speculation, ranging from Rathman making Coffee feel really bad and Coffee wanting to join the ministry.
All that's clear to me right now is that we needed a new thread. It appears that Michael Robinson will be the "official" primary backup to Frank Gore, with Anthony Dixon in third. Mike Singletary said that Dixon has a long way to go before he's an NFL-quality running back. Some will take that to mean his pass-blocking isn't up to par, which is certainly possible, but I'd also argue that he's changed his running style radically enough to the point where he can't be trusted running as a backup just yet.
Michael Robinson is the farthest thing possible from a "sexy" choice at the running back position. When 49ers fans think of Robinson, they think of that game against Arizona in which he was in for the short yardage when the game was on the line. No, he doesn't play like a top running back but I can say that is not a direct indication of what we can get from him.
Still - there are better options there, and perhaps Dixon could be that option. Half of the beat writers seem to be saying M-Rob is the backup while others, namely Phil Barber, are saying that Dixon steps into that role. We'll have to see what's going on, I'll update this as more information comes along: if it ever does. After the jump, some quotes.
Per Ian Rapoport:
Having covered 49ers RB Glen Coffee for 3 years, not surprised he retired. He has a higher call. Wouldn't shock me if he headed to ministry
Per Barber:
RT @ChrisWesseling: Is Robinson at No. 2 or Dixon? >> Sing: "To me, I think right now Dixon just steps into that spot. "
Per Barber:
RT @rockatalic: @Skinny_Post HAVE to bring in vet RB a la Foster now, right? At least for camp? >> Sing said Baalke would "look around"
Maiocco had a post with some reactions from Mike Singletary right here.
Singletary: Well, yes. That doesn't matter. Right now, all the answers. Did it surprise me? Yes. Did I think he was having a good camp? Yes. He's a guy, that's what you want. He's an incredible young man. But he has made that decision, and that's his decision.
Barrows says that Robinson, for now, is the number two running back:
Robinson will immediately step in as the No. 2 running back, but the 49ers are hoping that sixth-round pick Anthony Dixon improves to the point where he can take that role. Dixon played in a more wide-open offense in college, and he's slowly picking up the nuances of the NFL game, especially pass protection. "He's a ways away," Singletary said. "He's got a lot of work to do."
Whatever the case, I think we have just enough time to sign an undrafted rookie in time to score multiple touchdowns in the preseason and make everybody's roster projection before being cut and going on injured reserve with another team. Let's call him "TBA" for now.
TBAWOF.
Credit to Tre9er for being an obsessive jerk and posting a fanshot before me. What a jerk. Love ya, Tre.

Isn’t Lynch the number three guy in Buffalo right now?

McGahee less trouble

As far as versatility goes. But is McGahee even legitimately on the block?

Rodgers

I bet we get Marshawn and have the best rushing duo in the league. Wasn’t he on the block for like a 5th round pick?
Also, I could see us trading for McGahee. Maybe Reggie Smith a/o Michael Lewis for him

yeah
and McClain will get some carries too…did you realize two years ago he had over 900 yards rushing?!?!?

Lynch would be a better choice.

We get lynch 2 days later he's busted with another ''strap n some exstacy''
now he’s suspended 8 or 10 games maybe a year,say what you say about willis having more miles i look at lynch and he looks like he’s not playing with a full deck +he still feels like he’s starter material WTF?

We talked about flogging molly and dkm awhile back. I don’t think we talked about Me First and the GImme Gimme’s, one of my all-time favorite cover bands (OK, really they’re the only cover band I like but they’re loads of fun).
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
You know, one thing i haven’t really heard much of is flogging molly, only time we ever listen to them is Green Beer Day back at Miami Ohio (St. Pattie’s Day)

Drunken Lullaby and Swagger are two of my desert island albums

How are they even comparable?

the proper way to compare them goes as follows:
Dropkick Murphys > Flogging Molly

?
they are both celtic punk bands. (although i guess “punk” is a bit of a stretch for flogging molly, but i think that’s what they were going for.)

"rock"

I'm not a fan of Glen Coffee but I don't think it was the work that was the problem
The guy pushed himself hard to add 15lbs of muscle during the off-season. If he doesn’t want to play football I’m glad he quit now rather than give a half-hearted attempt during the season.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
I agree that’s it better it happens now. The guy doesn’t want to be traded or released, he just wants to retire. That’s cupcake to me. He’s got a chance to play a child’s game for a living, so I’m hoping he has an excellent reason. I’m ruling him out as a cupcake until I get more info.

Kentwan Balmer, Glen Coffee … Left to wonder—simply wonder, not make any charge—if 49ers feel overworked by Mike Singletary.

That is most definitely not it.
If it is it, good riddance – those people don’t want to work. That isn’t to say that there isn’t some issues with the internal structure of the team though, that’s what I’m worried about. But only slightly.

told him anyone who feels the need to leave Camp Singletary doesn’t belong on the 49ers, or the NFL perhaps.

THIS
It’s farkin football. There is no such thing as overworked. I am angered by his comment. My football workout days were far more intense than any I did in the Army, no joke. And I sure as s—- wasn’t getting paid for it. I know I am not speaking for myself here too. Just annoys me that people are gifted with that kind of talent who don’t want it or appreciate it.

Mc BooFoo Strikes again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s see the the tune goes on…………..
Coffee, Balmer, Cody Wallace, what other piss poor draft choices……………..
Come on now.
McCloughan had some great picks with this team. We would not be in position to take the west without him. He had his bad picks, and I’ll admit that Balmer and Wallace were abysmal, but there is no need for that.

because you can’t tell everything there is to know about a college player before you draft him.

I find those previews useless. I can go to MCC for previews. I go to SBN Bay Area for this type of stuff.

"Dodger fans aren’t happy when foul balls get into their section, because it interferes with their playing with the beachball"- Mike Krukow
I'm trying to make the DBTB better, as well.
Today they looked better, I think. As far as the previews for that stuff, we’re trying to work our way into a better groove. Get more personality into the previews and things of that nature. I think people will start to go more, especially because McCovey just takes a quick look at things, we try and get in as much stats as possible and things of that nature.
Did you like the Down By The Bay better today than usual?

Also - our football coverage surely has something to offer.

I may not comment on every article, but I read that site every day. I don’t need game previews and game recaps for every Niners, Giants, Raiders, etc. game. I like the top 5 lists and the Down By The Bay stuff.

but the raiders will probably want more for him than DMC.
I mean listen, we're sitting here talking about practice, not a game, not a game, but we're talking about practice.
we don't even know if we need a veteran RB yet
we just know we don’t know. Dixon could come a long fine and be ready (ready as Coffee was last year) and M.Rob knows his crap, even if he’s not a great runner.

San Francisco's Quiet Offseason
is quickly erased by a busy, crazy preseason. What is going on in San Francisco? All these injuries and players going AWOL? I guess now is the best time for things like this to happen, but it’s unfortunate.
More for Gore? Is the silver lining Michael Robinson’s value as a special teamer?
I will gladly eat crow if Brandon Jones does well for the 49ers in 2010.

Niner running backs
If coffee’s heart isn’t into football no one should try talk him into coming back. I say the Niners keep Brit Miller as the starting Fb Norris as the back up. Keep Dixon, Robinson, and Caulcrick as back ups to Frank Gore. Caulcrick was a RB in college, just maybe Caulcrick can be to the Niners what Brandon Jacobs is to the giants.

Apologies to 49erFanSince1950
I had to delete your comment because there was something screwy in the html that caused everything below it to be crossed out. Not sure why it does that but it happens every so often with the cross out or the bold or italics. Not your fault.
No problem, Fooch. By the way, my proposal was a bit of a joke; but consider ...

2. Buddy Nix is their GM … he’s not even smart enough to come in out of the rain!

doesn’t seem like a guy that would be signed by the team that cut Allen Rossum.

Big surprise to me
I know he wasn’t very productive for you guys last season, but I heard he was putting a lot of work into getting better.
Lifelong Arizona Cardinals/Chicago Bears fan [I have always lived in Arizona, dad is from Chicago].
I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad. And don't switch to whichever team wins the Super Bowl each year.
Good luck to you Glenn!
You’re timing could have been a little better though, like before the draft!
The "overworked" theory...
doesn’t hold water for me. i know guys say it’s a tough camp, but they’re all tough. Coff knew it was going to be tough…he added 15 el bees.
Sando recently remarked that the Niner camp isn’t the hell-on-earth that people make it out to be.
my idiot 9er hating friend
says coffee probably just didn’t want to play for the niners. he said he thinks coffee will end up on someone else’s team later in the season

Alex Smith is garbage...
In order for him to do that, the 49ers would have to release him from his contract.

no need to trade for any back up RB
westbrook is out on the street. LJ willie parker one is getting cut from washington. No need to panic to replace a backup.

Hmmmm
Willie parker in for a season to play 3rd or second if Dixon takes a bit to season and then he and MRob and Dixon doing the job when Gore needs some spelling. What does this do to change our draft outlook for next year? I was thinking of our needing a later round (4-6) COP back next year but has that changed any?

LOL Just had a thought..
wonder who I can trade Coffee to on Madden 11 for a player or a draft pick and watch them go away.
by ChesapeakeBay9er on Aug 14, 2010 8:26 AM PDT up reply actions
I've heard that Jehuu Caulcrick is the best pure runner of our three FB candidates...
Why not give him a shot at RB and see what he can do? But I’m also not against picking up a veteran from the waiver wire or in trade for a 5th, 6th, or 7th round draft choice. It’s possible to do both because Caulcrick is already on the 80-man roster, and Coffee’s retirement opens up a roster spot…
After all was said and done, a lot more got said than done.
