49ers' Nolan, Jags' Del Rio get permission to suit up for home games

Cool. Nolan's been pushing this for a while. I agree about the suits showing a "touch of class". I wonder if this will influence other coaches to do the same.
 
I am going to have to disagree on this one. Personally I dont like the sideline suits. I think they look silly on the sideline and they're too stuffy and uncomfortable. Maybe it fits a snooty coach in an indoor stadium but this could never be mandated as the official coach's attire. I cant picture any coach willing to sport a 3 piece suit in Miami's 90 degree heat. The NFL has plenty of class and I enjoy the casual look of the polo shirt, etc.

Gotta agree with that. I don't mind if coaches want to wear suits at games, but I wish the NFL would mandate that the coaches outfit need to change at least every 2 games or so. That way Bellicheck would have to change out of that horrendous hoody once in a while. It reminds me of Parcells and his Giants sweater.

I agree. One of the most asinine rules ever is not allowing coaches to wear suits. With all the "image" issues, they put a ban on wearing a suit. Meanwhile, Belichek wears rags, but that's cool. :nono:
The NFL can be beyond hypocritical at times.

No one's talking about mandating them. Up until now, they've been banned completely. Seriously, they're banning suits!!!

I think its hillarious for the simple fact that both of these coaches can be considered HOF'ers, so dispite Andre Agassi and his Cannon commercials, image is nothing.

:yeahthat:
 
I think it's a good thing. If they want to wear standard rbk gear, that's fine with me, but I don't think they should be prevented from wearing something as classy as a suit if they want to.
 
I think its great that they got permission to wear the suits. Hopefully more coaches do the same.
 
i vote for Jim Tressell red sweater vests (no matter what your team colors are) coupled with Steve Spurrier golf visors for all of them. :goof:

there is a comedian who does a bit about sports coaches on the sideline, and specifically why potbellied baseball managers have to wear the tight fitting wear the uniform.

seriously though, suits would be a marked improvement over the Bill Belicheck sleeves-and- hoodie-cut-off sweat shirt... it ticks me off that players get fined if they let their socks slip down for one play, but Belicheck is allowed to dress like a bum, as long as his mutilated sweatshirt says Patriots on the front.

oops, just noticed you beat me to it... :D
 
The only reason they were banned was because Reebok wanted coaches to sport their team gear. Because, you know, there's nothing more influencing in securing a purchase decision than seeing a loud, obnoxious 65 year old man sweating up and down the sideline wearing the gear you're going to buy.
