Quick googling learns they are 1-8 this year, and 8-23 over the last 3 years. He decided to just quit since they were getting their asses handed to them week in and week out
In that case it's both a dick AND pussy way to go out
...and we all know there are 3 types of people

Not sure what I think about that. Why couldn't he just wait until they were in the lock room and tell his team there instead of making some semi-dramatic situation about it..

The school contacted him afterwards and got him back on staff. He has been re-classified and is now their fundraising guru.
He will also teach some kind of sports management class.

Because some people lack integrity.

ESU's last winning season was 2015 at 6-5
The last playoff year for them was 2009 where they were bounced in the 1st Round of the NCAA D-II Tournament
ETA: they did make it to the national semifinal in 2005

Cut him some slack. He played football before facemasks. He's the Joe Paterno of Division II football (without the pedophilia).

I dunno. He's saying goodbye to a lifetime of memories and wanted to do it by walking off the playing field. Sort of like how Olympic wrestlers retire by putting their empty shoes in the ring before a scheduled match. I'll allow it.

264 wins in his career. His team and his school are cool with the way he went out (they rehired him as a VP for fund raising).
Coach James Franklin played QB for him for 4 years - he also helped Franklin get his start in coaching. Douds had countless opportunities to move on to much higher paying jobs. I doubt he had any idea his method of retiring would go viral.

Looking at his record he should've done everyone a favor and walked away years ago.

Perhaps he did not want all the tributes, and whatever else would have come with a formal retirement announcement and farewell tour. THAT would be an attention whore, especially if he would have demanded such.
Kind of like Stan Musial. Got a base hit, the Cardinals brought in a pinch runner, and off the field he ran. Done.
