Arkady Renko Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I don't know... there's just something about Nolan that rubs me the wrong way. The guy takes himself way too serious. Making a big stink about wearing a suit on the sidelines is silly. For a rookie head coach, there seems to be a little too much arrogance. Reminds me of a stiffer Brian Billick. 332771[/snapback] Did you ever stop to see why he wants to wear the suit? To honor his father who used to wear suits when he coached the Niners. That and trying to have a professional atmosphere doesn't seem silly to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 No suits is too far. I dont get the NFL. I understand somewhat them making sure shirts are tucked in, etc. But no suits- I dont get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the one hand, they claim they want players to look professional, but on the other hand they want the coaches like bums like Bellychoke. I am sure others have brought this up, but this is a long line of the NFL being unreasonable with its rules as it was with Peyton Manning wanting to honor Unitas and Plummer wanting to honor Tillman.

They are horribly inconsistant though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuben Gant Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 That is ridiculous. The NFL should allow a coach to show some class. I remember Coach Mac wearing suits at Syracuse and then carried his own personal tradition to the sidelines of the NFL with him, when he was brought in to coach the Patriots. Is the world run by marketing and lawyers? 332458[/snapback] The Flying Hellfish?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he must like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
