Why is it that coaches in the NBA and NHL wear sharp suits and stylish haircuts, but NFL coaches dress like they bought all their gear at a souvenir stand?

Somewhere, Tom Landry weeps.

Yeah. Whatever.

This week's EPL matches had me scratching my head wondering if managers in England are now shopping at Bill Parcells' Big 'N Tall. I guess the potato sack look finally made it over there.

It's the Madden effect. Somehow the equation was made that you have to look like a fat cunt in a bathrobe to appreciate a violent, contact sport.

This runs counter to the 'James Bond' effect perfected by Mr. Landry.

Kick their asses, coach...

"Your attire is woeful!"

Fuckin' RACK all Canadians in this thread (and Screwey)!

Class.


But why do NFL coaches dress like hot dog vendors?

Two minutes!

For looking so good.

Are all Canadians poofters, or just the ones that post here?

the one that gets me is baseball.

hey old man, you ain't goin' in. stop dressing like there's a chance you'll get into the lineup.

i realize it's tradition and all, and it goes back to a time when there were many player managers, but, that hasn't happened in quite some time. I think Pete Rose may have been the last to do it.

i know back in the da there were a few managers that wore suits. connie mack did.....for about 70 years. i think there might have been a few others. does anyone know who was the last manager to not suit up for a game?

one other question. why does every other sport have coaches while baseball has managers?

who gives a fuck?

That, plus the fact that you probably don't own a real suit, you corn-fed hick.

This is considered a sport coat where I come from. Can be worn either during the day or night, or when feeding the cows. In the case of this thread, whilst coaching pro sports also. Glad I could help.

It's because Reebok doesn't have an exclusive contract with the NBA & NHL and so can't dictate what the coaches have to wear on the sidelines

No way in hell this guy should be seen in a suit on the sidelines. The pants would be split by halftime.
