Actually that coach was Mike Nolan who then was Head Coach of the San Francisco 49ers and he did it to honor his father former 49er Head Coach Dick Nolan...Mike Nolan is the new DC of the Dallas Cowboys. Reebok was the apparell for the NFL back then and actually did come up with a suit and Nolan and at the time Jack Del Rio donned the suits.
True about what they have to wear now, but I even miss the days of the college Head Coaches donning the white shire with a tie and the black cleats with the hideous white socks.
