From CALPERS:

If you leave your contributions, you may apply for a retirement benefit as soon as you meet the minimum retirement eligibility requirements. You may leave your contributions on deposit until the year you reach age 70 ½ — when you must receive a refund or a retirement benefit under federal required minimum distribution regulations, unless you're working with a reciprocal agency. Every October, CalPERS sends letters and election forms to all members approaching age 70 ½ notifying them that they must either refund or retire when they attain age 70 ½ or, if they are age 70 ½ this year and not currently working for a reciprocal agency, to contact us to request a Required Minimum Distribution packet. A refund will include your contributions plus interest. Employer contributions are not refundable. Taking a refund ends your CalPERS membership. This means you lose the right to receive a service or disability retirement benefit. Since this can impact your future retirement income, carefully consider your decision to refund.
 
FYI He turns 70.5 on July 27, 2020. This is a smart move on his part.
 
Interesting... I hope somehow he ends up here. How would he effect us recruiting wise?
 
Atlanta is nice to visit but traffic is OTT Bad. Only way I would live there is if my work was no more than 2-3 miles away from my house.
Yes, traffic is really bad here. I live 11 miles from my office and it takes me 30-40 minutes - I am one of the lucky ones (a lot of people have 1-2 hour commutes one-way). Infrastructure improvements cant keep up with the growth around here. Lots of employment opportunities and the cost of living is reasonable but it is getting way too crowded. I told my wife that once the kids are out of school, I want out of here (Atlanta area, not my marriage).
 
18 pages a couple days old and this already feels like a six week roller coaster ride.
If you believe Rittenburg's tweet it sounds like we are not in contention.

Yep. It sure is, get the retirement benefits, then get a job to “supplement” his income.
 
"I've decided to retire from coaching at this point. It's time."

In most cases, like if Harbaugh said that, I would know not to believe a word of that.

In this case he probably is retiring for good.
 
We should lock this thread before it goes off the rails. Figured if an announcement didn’t come by 5:15pm it wasn’t happening.

An announcement came, he’s retiring
