SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -- Coach Mike Nolan will be a sharp-dressed man at all the San Francisco 49ers' home games this season.

Nolan and Jacksonville Jaguars 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.

Awesome.

I like a finely dressed man roaming the sidelines.

It'll be particularly entertaining on windy days.

I don't quite understand this myself. I guess there's a dress code now that says "No Suits"? I thought dress codes were in place to keep a coach and staff from showing up in jeans and a t-shirt (or worse). I never realized they weren't allowed to dress at a higher standard than the dress code allowed.

Ya they put a stop to it for a while last year they would only let them wear one for two games which is crap IMO. I don't think they should be forced to but if they want to more power to them it makes them look like the boss which they are.

I really like that the dude wore a suit for his games last year. I think he looked very very sharp and reflected positively on the NFL. I wish they would not only allow, but FORCE coaches to dress nicer. This isn't a smash on Belichick, although he is by far the worst and it drives me crazy. The NFL is concerned about their image problem, and to me this is would be a positive step. I understand it can't always be done, particularly in the start of the season when it is hotter than the devil's firey underworld, but if you made a stricter dress code for coaches, it would help the image alot, at least to this prude:).

It still amazes me that they made it so difficult for this guy to wear a suit, when I would be ecstatic if a coach wanted to wear a suit.

IIRC, I think they have to wear team sponsored gear. Typically, it is a polo or jacket and hat with emblems on it. I know the suit he wore last year was made by Reebok and had the emblem somewhere on it so the NFL would sign off on it.

But compare:

I remember Tom Landry on the sidelines. Suit and a hat. Not only was it sharp, but it gave the impression of power.


Actually, for a long time I avoided suits. But in the last year or so I've gotten some that fit well and actually am preffering the suit to slacks/shirt. Once I started wearing the pants pulled up where they were supposed too with suspenders I realized that suit pants are actually quite comfortable.

Ah, so it's about ENDORSEMENTS then. Reebok, Nike, Gatorade, Sprint, etc is paying the NFL to wear their stuff. I should have known.

Interesting. Though in the realm of suits, one made by reebok would probably be more of an economy suit compared to some of the world reknown brands.

Incredible that the NFL would prefer coaches dress like bums (Bellecheck) than to wear a suit???

Like someone mentioned earlier, its probably a marketing decision of some sort.

On a side note, ive mentioned this before, but our very own Herm Edwards is one of the most sharply dressed coaches in the NFL. He always looks very professional.

I dont care if Herm wears a dress on the sidelines. If he can win the Bling like Mr. Belichick, who cares?

Seems trival to me.. We are discussing dress code, Pats are discussing repeats and a championship dynasty....

If you can make one for less than 37 US cents then yes, they certainly do.

Duh. It's about pimpin' the product man. The NFL is juicing every last nickel out of everyone they can.

Ultimately, which coach leaves the greater legacy?
