Former 'Bama RB Glen Coffee retiring after one season in NFL

Multiple reports today from the San Francisco 49ers camp, say that former Alabama running back Glen Coffee has announced his retirement from pro football after only one season. Coffee was absent from practice Thursday and today, prompting speculation that resulted in word today that he's "moving on" from the sport. After rushing for 2,107 yards at Alabama, Coffee passed up his final year of eligibility to enter the 2009 NFL draft. The 49ers selected him in the third round, and Coffee rushed for 226 yards in 14 games last season. The 49ers are not coming foward with an explanation behind the sudden decision.
