Another guy who dresses the part of a rising star in college football coaching, Louisville's Charlie Strong simply knows how to effectively coordinate coordinates. There is a time and place for black slacks and a red top buttoned to the neck—and the time is now. Dave Christensen's bold attempt to combine a sweater vest with Wyoming's traditional brown and gold color scheme could be rightly judged to have gone either way.
Brian Kelly's wardrobe at Notre Dame brings up an interesting sidebar in coaching wardrobe design. Kelly reminds us of the important concept of "dance with who brung you," meaning that these guys don't select the institutional color schemes, nor do they have much say in what Adidas, Under Armour or Nike pumps out on their behalf.
Basically, these coaches are working from a limited, highly controlled wardrobe that ultimately they are held responsible for, but have no control over. Kelly makes the list because he continues to look professional and polished regardless of what Adidas and Notre Dame throw at him.
And that includes looking sharp in the "green clovers and blue diamonds" get-up from last season's clash with Michigan. The modern version of Terry Bowden may not look exactly like the guy who once stalked the sidelines at Auburn, but his move to Akron ought to raise the bar in the world of MAC fashion. Add to the equation the fact that Bowden will be sharing a campus address with Tressel the Vest, and anything could happen from a design standpoint. Kyle Whittingham uses Utah's crimson and white color scheme to its absolute fullest advantage.
Whether or not he accents the traditional hues with a big splash of black and regardless of the climatic conditions , Whittingham cuts a fine figure and achieves panache without sacrificing conservatism. Though Al Golden is the most notable and consistent advocate of the necktie in college football coaching, FIU's Mario Cristobal shouldn't be overlooked when talking ties.
The bit of irony that links the two well-dressed coaches is the fact that Cristobal grew up Miami and played tackle for the Hurricanes, while Golden now leads the "U" as a second-year head man. Switching gears to the fashion offenders as opposed to the couture defenders, we kick off the worst-dressed list with Navy's Ken Niumatalolo.
This specific case is not about the traditional neck wear, but about the puffy, anchor emblazoned jacket with letter jacket sleeves. But with that said, at what point does a relaxed dress code lead to a lackadaisical feel? Bronco Mendenhall is a very good football coach, but does his t-shirt approach to game day emit a decidedly laissez-faire tone? Realistically, it's difficult to argue that Lane Kiffin looks poorly dressed on the sidelines.
Despite the fact that he looks well-groomed 99 percent of the time, Kiffin should be called out for his "ice-capade" get-up from the game vs.
Being the leader means they represent the soccer club. And on game day, they represent the club on the biggest stage. And coaches are aware of this. So, some of them choose to wear suits to look professional and represent their team well on the biggest stage.
A soccer coach should wear whatever makes them feel comfortable. For press conferences, coaches can wear suits or dress smartly.
Also, they can wear clothing with the team badge. For Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp, wearing a tracksuit is much better than wearing a suit. And it comes down to comfort. Klopp is one of the more active coaches on the touchline.
He jumps around and waves his arms and is very animated. When asked about wearing a suit for game day, Klopp said :. In fact, he only wore a suit before because he thought it was a duty to do so. In the same interview, Klopp said:. But from the first time I saw another manager next to me not wearing a suit, I was done.
He only cares about his team looking good on the field. Coaches mainly wear shorts during training sessions. Tracksuits would be the most casual a coach dresses during a game. Soccer coaches can wear dress shoes, sneakers, or cleats.

Everything was formal back in the day. It was the way the world was back when modern soccer started in the mid s.
