head coach vacancy created when Jerry Claiborne left for Kentucky, but ultimately, chose Bobby Ross, instead. Nolan holds the dubious distinction of being the head coach of the Arena Football League's San Antonio Force in 1992, the only team in Arena history to be shut out, 50-0 by the Orlando Predators on June 13, 1992 Nolan was well known for wearing business suits while coaching, as did many other coaches during his era. The NFL has since disallowed this practice in most circumstances due to the league signing exclusive apparel deals with sportswear companies (specifically Reebok and Nike). The league made an exception after Nolan's death in 2007, allowing Nolan's son Mike and Jack Del Rio, coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, to wear suits in the elder Nolan's honor.
