We’ve all come to know Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio very well over the years. Aside from being perceived as one of the better coaches in the country, Dantonio has a very stoic, stone-faced way of going about things and it has certainly worked.
That applies even when his press conferences are interrupted by a Disney-themed ringtone going off. That was the case on Monday when Dantonio was talking about his team’s triple overtime loss against Northwestern this past weekend. Amid some analysis comes singing commentary from none other than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Watch closely and for a nano second, Coach D was ready to smile big. Props for staying in the moment. Sing it loud and proud coach! 😂🙌🏾 https://t.co/aEoSwlObEi

CLARIFICATION:
A phone, not @DantonioMark's 📱, went off during the @MSU_Football coach's postgame presser. pic.twitter.com/Dvr38CImGD

Now it was originally believed to be Dantonio’s phone going off, when instead it was actually that of a reporter recording the press conference. No matter, the two have since then found some good humor and vibes about it.
Was it @DantonioMark's phone with the Moana ring tone?
No.
But it led to a fun Twitter exchange with @TheRock.

Atta boy coach. We gotta smile sometimes thru our losses. Tough loss this past weekend, but no doubt will make the team stronger #GoGreen https://t.co/HNpqr2VuGo

Not too sure if any opposing Big Ten teams wanna see The Rock barreling down on them in the backfield or the secondary.
