A good 60 years later, here comes the team&#8217;s coaching fashion &#8220;evolution&#8221; of Brian Schottenheimer and his backward visor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_0yxtowo8x\">While initially unsettling, Schottenheimer&#8217;s fashion is closer to trend than atypical. Landry and his haughty haberdashery &#8230; Paul Brown&#8217;s tweed topper &#8230; Bum Phillips and his signature 10-gallon Stetson &#8230; Steve Spurrier&#8217;s visor &#8230; Dan Quinn&#8217;s backward cap &#8230; hello, Schotty.
