I heard (and not sure if true) but because the coaches/managers go onto the field of play, they wear uniforms. That, and the fact that a lot of managers used to actually also play way back in the day. I think Pete Rose was the last one.
Tom Landry wore a suit too, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't find it strange to see Belichick roaming the sideline in a three piece.
Landry, **** Nolan, Stram, Shula, Paul Brown, Norm Van Brocklin ... quite a few dapper gents from that era, and they looked great -
I also read that suits used to be common in the early days until more managers were former, and more importantly recently former (and current) players, so they kept wearing the uniform.

As a guy who grew up there and a big proponent of the sentiment behind the #WetheNorth movement...I completely agree. It's a little cheesy as a uni.
I actually can't say which would be worse, Belichick in his customary raggedy hoodie or Andy Reid in his form-hiding mumu-like windbreakers, or either of them crammed into a football jersey and tight pants.
On the topic of comfort...always thought it was strange that players wear belts. Think they could get the pants to fit without a need for a belt.
