- - Mudd retires again (http://www.coltfreaks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=81137)

Wasn’t he more in an advisory capacity anyway? Got the impression this was always temporary.

Nope, and certainly wasn't going to travel with them.

That was my impression as well. I hope it is more he feels his job was done and not for health reasons.

Mudd hasn't been totally out of football since his retirement several years ago....but much of that previous post-retirement work was consulting a few days here and there or maybe even a week or two for NFL or college teams. This role was different - a place on the staff and coming to work every day for 7 months. My guess is that he wanted to get back to Washington state and spend some time riding his motorcycle. At the age of 77, he certainly has the right to do what makes him happy.

This was totally on Mudd's terms, Reich says. Just ready to move on. Helped set things up during the offseason to set the tone, which is nice.

Mudd has had some physical limitations, though it's not clear whether that's a factor.

Thank you Howard Mudd for your service.
