Whistle-Worthy: Coach Kliff Kingsbury's Style

Not many football coaches turn heads quite like Kliff Kingsbury. Yes, he looks eerily similar to that hunky actor Ryan Gosling, but Coach Kliff has something else that makes it hard to take your eyes off him — style. On the sidelines, the Texas Tech head coach's attire is pretty standard, but once he slips on his signature shades, he's suddenly the coolest coach in college football. It's not the sunglasses wearing Kliff, though. It's Kliff wearing the hell out of those sunglasses.

Off the field, this Texas born and bred cowboy takes his style game to another level, looking dapper in tailored suits fit for a Hollywood red carpet. This is how modern-day football coaches should dress a la Bear Bryant and Vince Lombardi, whose signature fashion sense conveyed professionalism and leadership, not to mention garnered respect.

Yes, Kliff has been dubbed "the hot coach" for obvious reasons, but it's his style that makes him more than just a pretty face. Here are some of my favorite Kliff Kingsbury style moments:
