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

I think the suit and tie is a classy look, what do you guys think? Should more coaches 'follow suit'?

Coach Mike Nolan will be a sharp-dressed man at all the [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=sfo"][COLOR=#000000]San Francisco 49ers[/COLOR][/URL]' home games this season.

Nolan and [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=jac"][COLOR=#000000]Jacksonville Jaguars[/COLOR][/URL] coach Jack Del Rio got permission from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday to wear suits and ties to all eight of their clubs' regular-season home games in 2007.

i like it. I think it looks right.

I don't get why they don't let them wear suits every game. Why does the nfl want them to dress like bums?

Because of Reebok. Reebok is the one making a fuss

I think it looks good. Also, I don't see why the NFL is against it...they could get into more merchandising this way. Start throwing logos on the front pocket, not obnoxious, but they could do it. I don't know that I'd get one, but know there would be a market for it

does anyone here think new englands coach even owns a suit? i like the look. the league also said anyone thats interested would get the ok. what about coach gibbs?

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

I'd love to see a coach on the sidelines in full pads, just like baseball managers wear uniforms. That's be pretty sweet to see

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

I don't even wear a suit and I work in a crappy office. Who in the heck wants to wear a suit to work? Especially if you're a football coach! It's stupid, and appeals to coaches who want to look like they are smart because they're not. I've got three words for Mike Nolan: Bend don't break. It was a crappy defensive scheme, and he's a crappy coach, IMHO. [url=http://www.OntheRAC.com]On the RAC: Washington Redskins Fan Club[/url]

That would be awsome.

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

This is a sporting event, not some business function. I don't get why they would want to wear a suit but more power to them if they want to wear them.

Speaking of suits, I know one dude who wears a suit all the frigging time. Seems pretty silly to me but what do I know, I'm a jeans and shirt type of guy.

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

Does anyone have any idea when they forced coaches to stop wearing regualr clothes (suites included). When did nfl sell out to Reebok? I kinda like how Belichick rolls, not letting Reebok make him into a billboard - being I dont think there cutoff hoody sales have taken off

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

I love the look. Makes them look professional. Of course when you spit 80000 times a game it's hard to look anything near professional. Guess Gibbs won't be getting a suit.

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

I love the idea, think it's great. It reminds me of Dick Todd who was coach the year I became a Redskin fan. He was real "daper" the best dressed coach in the league. Would be nice to see coaches get back to that.

At least in football coaches don't look like (managers) do in baseball.

you can tell from my name i like the old way. i think they should let all coaches show class at every game. better than the guy in ne
