I'm glad he retired instead of trying to stick around for a couple more years on a different team. I couldn't even imagine him in a different jersey.

If Emmanuel Sanders stubs his toe or gets a paper cut do not be shocked at a mid season sighting of Hines

Love Hines, and glad to see that he spent a long, productive career with one team, instead of going the Emmitt Smith route.

I've never been a fan of Ward, but I know the end of an era when I see one. A solid career has come to a close.

 

[theotherCUTCH]

he will be a coach of some sort soon

I actually wouldn't be surprised if he is working for one of the networks sometime soon.

Ditto. He seems like a well-spoken and charismatic guy.

I absolutely despise Whines Hard. I cannot stand him at all.

That said, I am glad that he is retiring as a Steeler instead of playing somewhere else.

I wouldn't like him either if he tormented my favorite team for 13 years.

Glad you understood the hatred, brother. :lol:

One of the greatest ever... I've been following Hines since his high school days at Forest Park HS and most people don't realize how good he was in high school and in college. I have a feeling he'll get into coaching, either in Athens or for one of the high schools in North Fulton County.

Love Hines. He's no Glen Coffee, but he will be missed by ******* Steelers fans everywhere.

While I have nothing but the highest disdain for Ward, but I'm happy to see him end his career as a Steeler, because guys like him deserve to have their career to end the right way. He deserved to retire as a Steeler, and Steelers fans deserve to have him retire as one of theirs. I never met a Steelers fan who didn't love Hines.

When he says he retired as a Steeler, does that mean Pittsburgh gave him the one day contract treatment so it was official, or did he say that since he won't be playing for another team?

Yes

Hines is already attending Georgia practices and speaking with former teammate and current Offensive Coordinator Mike Bobo (the worst playcaller in NCAA history). We didn't have a special teams coach last year because we were at the limit for coaches, so I'm not sure what CMR will do if Hines wants to come on board.
