Now that I have some free time, I just realized that @RazorbackFB needs a new Head Coach. Hit me up! #WPS

He probably isn’t too serious, but the 30-year-old back is a native of Arkansas and played with the Razorbacks. The retirement comes as a surprise as some were talking about a potential signing with other NFL teams.
