Maybe it really is the sweater vest

Bill Stewart, the West Virginia football coach, has started wearing a blue sweater vest on the sidelines, and the Mountaineers are 2-0 in those games.

He says he didn’t make the change to mimic Ohio State coach Jim Tressel, who is famous for his sweater vest. Instead, Stewart said, he just needed something to wear over a gold T-shirt:

“I didn’t want us all to look like mustard seeds on the sideline,” he said. “I thought if I had (just) the shirt on (people would say) ‘What’s he wearing, an oxford?’ So I had the Nike sweater vest and I thought I would try it.”

Then Stewart playfully withdrew when asked specifically about the comparison to Tressel:

“Whoa, whoa, Jim Tressel is a good-looking young man,” Stewart said. “He’s aged better than me.”
