Kramer's Attire

I just moved back to Bozeman after leaving town after graduation and have been to a few football games this year. One thing that struck me is the lack of professionalism in Coach Kramer's sideline attire. It seems to me that a Head Football Coach making over $100k per year should be dressing in a professional (business cashual) manner while coaching. He needs to ditch the warm-ups and sneakers in favor of dress pants/shoes, and a nice polo/team jacket.

I see your point. But, this is a trend that goes beyond the staff at MSU. There are several coaches taking a casual approach to their game day wear.
Right or wrong is up for debate. But, don't think it's just the big human.

I agree, dressing down is a trend. Despite what everyone else does, we should expect nothing but the highest level of professionalism from MSU representatives--MSU should be first class.
This has nothing to do with the governor, he can do and wear whatever he wants.
Can you see Coach Durham wearing team warm ups on the bench? I didn't think so. Needing to dress for the weather is not a good excuse for coaches either. We have not had bad weather for games this fall. Either way, countless college and NFL coaches find a way to dress professionally in any weather conditions.
This is just a small, minor thought and wanted to see if anyone else had made this observation as well.

I saw a thing about this on one of the many sports shows out there. They featured the NFL and showed us Lombardi, Landry, Paul Brown, etc. and then today. The Patriots coach is worst offender-he looks like he rolled out of bed and headed right for the stadium. It was kind of funny. Most of the coaches are paid to wear what the franchise wants to sell at the souveneir stand.
I like Kramer's look better than Hysell's blue jeans, cowboy boots and duster-ugh.

Give me a break! This is football which is an outside sport! Are you kidding?

As long as Kramer is wearing an M on his hat and keeps building this program further and further I think he can wear anything he wants. Who really cares what the coach wears. I think it really shows that he is approacheable and very down to earth and that is the way I would be if I coached as well. How about giving the guy some props for the big win?

Unbelievable! I think Coach Kramer looked fine! I agree that he definitely looked better than 'ol Cliff ever did! I think that the dress attire should match that of the individual coach... while still representing the school by wearing the blue and gold. That being said... let me clarify. I think Coach Kramer is a very professional guy, but the more casual/sporty look is him. Mick Durham would never wear warm-ups because that's not his personality. He's very conservative, about EVERYTHING. Just to throw another comparison out there... Should we make the Track and Field coaches wear a suit, slacks, and tie when they have a meet? Surely your answer would be no.
Coach Kramer looked fine on Saturday! EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY he helped lead his... OUR Bobcats to a third victory in four years over the Griz.
If people are so concerned with his attire, maybe they should come out with Kramers Fall fashion line 2006 and have a fashion show...
IT'S FOOTBALL PEOPLE!! Get over it. He looked just fine!

Lets not forget the K-manster has a bit of a belly too. I think he needs the velcro/stretch waist to slip his frame into. I thought he looked like a football coach with a North American belly
This is Bozeman-- not GQ fotoshoot.

At least college football coaches don't dress like baseball managers/coaches ... dressed out in the team uniform like elderly trick or treaters (often complete with wrist bands, etc.).
It appears that we are working pretty hard to find things to complain about. Can we just enjoy the good vibe for awhile? The Cats dominated the second best football team in Montana and ended an inconsistent season with the best possible (short of getting a miracle playoff nod) exclamation point.
