I get the whole dress for success mentality, but we’re talking about football here, I wouldn’t be running out there in a three piece suite either... these coaches are going to coach how they coach weather they wear sweat pants and a t-shirt or if they’re in Khakis and a polo, or a tuxedo t-shirt. My point is, there are many things you could choose to nitpick with this staff, how they dress probably shouldn’t be one of them... I assure you how Frost dressed did not determine if we won or lost, the constant bad snaps did, the muffed punt did, the untimely penalties did, the turnover did, you know all the things we’ve been seeing for the past 8 years through three coaches that alll dressed different
I think there's something to be said to a degree of portraying how you want to perform. Like maintaining a clean work area.
As an example, I work in engineering. I can tell you exactly how a designer's work is going to look just by scanning their desk. Messy desks correlate to messy documents, organized desks to organized documents.
Our team right now lacks discipline and attention to detail. I like how when Frost took over, he made it clear everyone was essentially going to wear the same thing (shoes, socks, etc), whereas under Riley, it was a free for all (seeing Lane Hovey wearing a hoodie under his uniform made my stomach churn).
To that end, I can appreciate wanting to take it a step farther and have our coaches look more professional as well.
The entire coaching staff needs to immediately stop wearing the camouflage Larry the Cable Guy/Trump supporter husker hats. We need to attract recruits that shoot pistols not shotguns and that’s why all of the Florida guys are in the transfer portal. Blow chunks
I also agree with this, as crass as your post is haha. I know it will tick people off, but much like having alternate uniforms appeals to some players, wearing attire in this environment that more closely aligns with one end of the political spectrum or the other depending on the individual is self limiting to recruiting whether you like it or not.
As Michael Jordan responded when asked to back a black Democratic candidate, "Republicans buy sneakers, too."
< Mods, feel free to delete if this is deemed political and against board policy. My point is there is an appeal portion to recruiting and knowing your politics at least don't start an adversarial relationship is important (though not necessary to align), not to start a political argument. >
