The NFL and Reebok have finally stopped being idiotic bitches (HT: FanHaus) about 49ers coach Mike Nolan's desire to wear a suit on the sidelines this fall. As you may recall, Nolan wore a Reebok-designed suit on the sidelines twice last year to honor his father (who coached the Niners in a suit decades earlier), but the corporate sponsorship 'tards wouldn't let him do it more than that.
"We've agreed to coach Nolan's request," said Brian McCarthy, the NFL's director of corporate communications. "He told us he was looking (to wear the suit) for the eight home games."… McCarthy emphasized it is the NFL that determines the policy for what coaches wear on the sideline. Nolan said last week that he was under the impression it was Reebok making the decision. Reebok pays the NFL a reported $250 million to be the clothing supplier for the league.
Oh yeah, the NFL's calling all the shots here. For sure. Because I'm sure Reebok is looking to sell a ton of custom-made suits. "Hey buddy! Nice suit! Men's Wearhouse?" "Nope — Reebok, baby."
With Leather doesn't particularly care about Mike Nolan's father, who is stricken with Alzheimer's and is therefore a terrifying reminder that death comes for us all. But this site DOES endorse Nolan's fashion sense. I love wearing a suit. It really makes juries think twice about whether you could have broken into a car to sleep.

"Stupid ass Nolan. Doesn't he know the only time you should wear a suit is to court?" -Chris Henry.
I love wearing a suit too. Especially to the strip club. They only way to get more attention from strippers is to walk in with Pacman Jones.
Well, it's not as sexy as a hoodie with the sleeves cut off, but it's nice.
Hopefully he'll get a better suit. That one looks a little shiny.
Only in the NFL does the dress code allow one coach to dress like a homeless guy while trying to prevent someone else from wearing a suit. Don't most dress codes usually try to make sure people don't come to work looking like they rolled out of bed or out of the homeless shelter?
I always wear a suit to break in to a car to have consensual sex with underage Asian girls before I leave my Reebok™ brand wallet in her "basket".
No, that's my only suit. It cost me 350 dollars. I got it at Moe Ginsburg!
Reebok: You will like the way you look, Mike Nolan guarantees it.
Living in VT i wear a shirt and tie to work everyday. Everyone looks at me like i'm a millionaire. But i'm just like everyone else. I too enjoy banging asian bitches on my bicycle while throwing gatorade at my ho while she times me with my new "Unstoppable Watch". I aint playing either dawg.
Does Reebok make orange jumpsuits, you know – for the Bengals?
Like his dad even remembers who he is let alone what suit he wears.
Get Hobo Belichick in one of these. Seriously. It could also work wonders for the Walrii that are Andy Reid and Mike Holmgren.
Now <i>that</i>, my friends, is a Windsor knot.
Shit.
I put on my Ocho Cinco jersey on the other night. 2 hours later I was arrested for burglary and raping an 8 year old. I think the jerseys are evil and must have been slimed by the slime in Ghostbusters 2. Luckily no fights between me, Ray, or Egon broke out.
Reebok suits: Now with the pump.
if Mike Tomlin does this and then puts a white lab coat over that, I'll never know if he's the Steelers coach or Dr. Foreman from House
I bet Nolan also eats his Snickers with a knife and fork. Excuse him for trying to bring a little class to the NFL.
It's time to put a moratorium on Garingo saying he's from Vermont. Yeah, we get it, you have electricity. We salute you. Now let's move on.
Bah, the suit is stupid. Give me a better coach in sweats.

Come on, Nolan. Is the suit really necessary? Is it going to make your players better? You look like a freaking tool on the sideline with your cheap ass Reebok digs. Are you trying to earn some respect you don’t deserve? Maybe you should allow all your assistants to wear suits as well… or are you trying to say you’re more important? How do you think those meatballs feel in their striped nylon warm-ups next to a guy in a jacket and tie? How about you assert yourself through coaching instead of through fashion?
