There are lip readers in the stadium with binoculars.
Chewing gum confuses them. Coaches are very good at
TALKING and CHEWING gum at the same time. TRUE

Tension. Back in the day, you'd see guys smoking or using chewing tobacco on the sidelines.

Nerves. Your livelyhood (unless you're volunteering) is in the hands of kids. I usually click my pen on the sideline. I don't like gum.

it's hard to yell/scream at players and referees when your throat/mouth is dry. chewing gum helps lubricate your throat/mouth thus making yelling/screaming more comfortable and effective.

If their jaws aren't moving, they don't feel like they are earning their salaries...so they chew.
