Mike Nolan's Suits

Posted: Sep 12, 07 10:15pm

He fought long and hard to be allowed to wear suits... and I must say... Nolan is rocking the look. I'm hoping the trend catches on with the other coaches.

I actually didn't know the full history until this article:

and I have to say, it made me pretty angry with Reebok. Why do they get to dictate how the coaches dress? And how can it be that ALL the coaches aren't up in arms over this?

Nolan is dressing for success.

I know this sounds old fashioned, but I absolutely applaud what Mike Nolan has done. He's brought some degree of class and self-respect back to the game -- instead of a continuing spiral towards hobo chic.

Allow the guy some dignity. It's in short supply in the league these days.

Esquire's 2...

Why stop with wearing suits? If he wants to honor the legacy of his father and former NFL coaching greats, go all the way ... get a flat top haircut! Now off to the barbershop, Coach Nolan.
