Glen Coffee retires

[psubills62]

The 49ers are in big trouble if Gore goes down, as they've said a few times that Dixon is far from being ready.

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.

Good for coffee. Takes a strong will to turn down millions of dollars for a higher calling

Enjoyed his style of play and thought he had a future at SF.

Davis will get plenty of carries now.
