When did coaches get so casual?
I can remember back in the day when Tom Landry would prowl the Cowboys sideline in a jacket, tie and a hat:
Vince Lombardi was the same way. Shula started out with a jacket when he was with the Browns and the Colts, but moved to a polo shirt when he went to Miami. He'd even opt for a V-neck sweater from time to time:
Hockey and basketball coaches also seem to be wearing business attire:
And, for some inexplicable reason, baseball managers wear the team uniform (has a manager been a player since Pete Rose?):
But then you look at someone like Bill Belichick. He dresses like he's homeless:
Just makes me shake my head sometimes...
