Nolan Reportedly Gets League Approval to Wear Suit on Sideline
The NFL reportedly has agreed to allow San Francisco 49ers Coach Mike Nolan to wear a suit on the sideline during a game, perhaps this weekend.
Nolan made the request in the past in part as a tribute to his father Dick Nolan, who formerly coached the 49ers. The league previously denied Mike Nolan's request because of a rule requiring coaches to wear apparel from NFL-licensed suppliers on the sideline, but reportedly has relented to allow Nolan to dress as he's requested in a limited number of games.

Someone should tell reggie to get the facts before he opens his mouth. The nfl does have a very strict dress code for the coaches and the ones he named are following that dress code.

It's about time. I mean there are other sports (specifically pro and college basketball) where head coaches/manager have to wear suits so I think it should be the same in all sports. I mean coaches don't play in the game so why shouldn't they be made to dress up. Plus, in the early years of the NFL, it was status quo that coaches dressed up anyway. It's sickening to see Bill Parcells or Bill Bellicik, Joe Gibbs, Andy Reid and some of the other coaches wearing apparrel that their guts and bodies have no business in. I wish they would institute a dress code for the coaches.
