Who doesn’t love a good, awkward interview?

That’s exactly what happened when Mark Dantonio and Mike Leach paired together for a television interview regarding the upcoming Holiday Bowl matchup between Michigan State and Washington State. It was weird, awkward and uncomfortable. It was easy to see that neither coach really wanted to be there.

Questions were somewhat strange and both Dantonio and Leach seemed less-than-excited to be doing the thing. But it reached its optimal awkwardness around the 7-minutes mark of the video, when Dantonio was asked about Michigan attempting to auction off a pair of Jim Harbaugh’s autographed khakis.

“That doesn’t seem relevant to the conversation, so I’m going to pass,” Dantonio responded.

Here’s the full interview below, as shared by Sawyer Radler. Enjoy it:
