Weddle had not been doing all that much in his first retirement, though he had kept in shape. He already won’t be returning, but now he has even more reason to fully commit himself to retirement.
Beyond getting accustomed to his coaching job, Weddle will also have some other things to do as he eases his way back into retirement.
