NFL: No business suits
Greed gone too far

49ERS NOTEBOOK
NFL says Nolan cannot 'suit' up
Coach Mike Nolan recently petitioned the NFL to allow him to wear a suit on the sidelines during game days.
"To me, it's professional. I think it's respectful," Nolan said. "There was certainly no deal, no one came to me, there was nothing to gain. I wasn't trying to put the spotlight on me. But what I was trying to say, there's somebody in charge and this is what they look like."
The league turned Nolan down. Head coaches must wear the NFL-sanctioned team garb.
"There were marketing issues and sales issues, all that stuff," Nolan lamented. Beyond wanting to look the part of a man in charge, Nolan also viewed it as a tribute to his father, Dick, who was the coach of the 49ers from 1968-75.
"I must say looking at the pictures of my dad -- they are all around my office -- I thought, 'I'm going to do that.' But they are not going to let me."

That really [censored]es me off.
I think all coachs should have to wear suits, I guess I am old school that way.

I dont think they should have to wear suits, but look like a professional who makes serious jack......at least the nfl doesn't have them wear uniforms like they do in baseball....i have always thought that is the stupidest thing ever....a middle aged fat guy doesnt cut it in a baseball uniform....
this should not be allowed either.....he looks like a college kid that just woke up at noon after partying all night long.....

Yeah, I should clarify.
I dont mean force them too, but the option should absolutely be there. |
