NFL says Nolan cannot ‘suit’ up

49ERS NOTEBOOK / NFL says Nolan cannot ‘suit’ up
Coach Mike Nolan recently petitioned the NFL to allow him to wear a suit on the sidelines during game days.

“To me, it’s professional. I think it’s respectful,” Nolan said. “There was certainly no deal, no one came to me, there was nothing to gain. I wasn’t trying to put the spotlight on me. But what I was trying to say, there’s somebody in charge and this is what they look like.”

The league turned Nolan down. Head coaches must wear the NFL-sanctioned team garb.

That’s total bullshit. Brian Billick gets away with wearing his lame-ass leather jacket over in Baltimore. Let the man wear a suit and make him wear a 49ers tie-tack or socks or something.
