I agree. He looks stoo-pid.
Jack Del Rio Will Get His Spiff On, Too

This is bad news for people who hate it when Tony Kornheiser goes on tangents about things that no one really cares about: Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio will be wearing a suit on the sidelines Monday night for the game against the Giants.
Del Rio will join the 49ers Mike Nolan (who will be looking dapper against the Seahawks on Sunday) as the first coaches to wear suits on the sidelines since Dan Reeves last did it in 1993. The NFL hasn't allowed suits to be worn because of a licensing deal they have with Reebok that stipulates that coaches must wear team-issued gear on the sidelines.
The suits will actually be made by Reebok, and there's no word on whether or not the suits will have stripes or feature moisture-wicking technology. But my guess is that there will be a Reebok logo on the suit or tie somewhere ... and I'm going to find that pretty amusing.
But I'm glad the NFL allowed them to do it. Coaches should be able to wear what makes them feel good, unless, you know, Bill Parcells feels good in black leather assless chaps. That would present some issues. A suit and tie, though? I don't know why the NFL couldn't use that to their advantage from a marketing standpoint. A lot of guys who wear suits and ties on Monday are watching football on Sunday.
