yungmack Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 It's bad form to make the players do it and then the coach shows up in a sweat suit (or whatever he was wearing.) The rule should apply to all. Could be it's the players decision, either individually or as a team. A good question for the crack media to ask.

The issue of what the coach wears in the presser is not important. ewwwwwwwwwww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 OK, once is an occurance, twice is a pattern. Marrone is having the players dress up in suits and ties to give post game pressers. Does anyone else in the NFL do this? I don't suppose the players will give a cr** as long as they keep winning, but what do you think of this practice? Isn't it common for post game interviews ? other than Bellyache that is.

Offside Number 76 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 It's bad form to make the players do it and then the coach shows up in a sweat suit (or whatever he was wearing.) The rule should apply to all. During his presser, he mentioned that he was concerned about being fined if he removed the sweatsuit. Given that coaches are required to wear team gear on the sidelines, rather than suits--a rule that I always have hated--it may be that he is not permitted to wear a suit during the presser. I don't know; it just may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that coaches are required to wear team gear on the sidelines, rather than suits--a rule that I always have hated--it may be that he is not permitted to wear a suit during the presser. I don't know; it just may be. This is more the issue. Guys are required to "model" (if you will) certain NFL apparrell every week. Remember a few years ago when Jack Del Rio and Mike Nolan wanted to wear a suit on the sideline to honor (IIRC) a coach that they were linked to, over the years, who had passed away. The NFL made a huge issue of it..they could not wear suits on the sideline, unless they were designed by Nike (or whoever was liscenced to do NFL apparel at the time)...so they ended up wearing these kind of hybird dress suit/sweat suits... I also remember Dan Reeves, always one of the more dignified gentlemen of the NFL, being forced to stop wearing suits on the sidelines (something had always done, like his coach Tom Landry) in favor of NFL liscenced togs. Its' the NFL, virtually everything is liscenced, purchased and sold. I may be wrong, but I dont' think the NFL requires that players wear suits after the game...I think that is up to the player, but notice Stevie still has to wear his NFL apparrel...his hat.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 With this I agree As has been pointed out in this thread, head coaches are mandated to wear NFL approved merchandise. The Del Rio/Nolan thing happened in 2005. At the time the NFL had Nike (it would have to be Reebok now) design approved NFL blazers. However the NFL stipulated that the coaches could wear these only twice per season. It is ironic that Marrone can require that his players dress in suits but that he himself can't. As such it is not an instance of a double standard or any hypocrisy on Marrone's part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
