It’s hard to fault anyone for retiring from work at 72 years of age. That’s how old Dante Scarnecchia, the former offensive line coach of the New England Patriots, is today.
He announced his retirement from the NFL for the second time after the conclusion of the 2019 season, and he now walks away from the game after more than 34 years of service to this franchise — and almost 50 years of coaching at the collegiate and pro levels in general.
Granted, “walks away” might not be the best term to use when it comes to Coach Scar.
