Washington State head football coach Mike Leach has made it a habit of doing entertaining and outlandish things over the years, largely to the amusement of anyone who is able to see or hear him. Hisย latest antics occurred at a recent press conference for the Holiday Bowl that will take place Thursday night between Leach's Cougars and the Michigan State Spartans. In the video, Leach can be seen tending to his scolding hot cup of coffee and giving it way more attention than the reporters asking questions.

Seriously, he blows on that drink for a good 20 seconds. Nobody wants to destroy his mouth on the first sip.

Almost better than the fact Leach was paying absolutely no mind to the press conference is the fact that after he was done cooling down his morning beverage, he looked up from his stupor with an utterly surprised reaction, as if he was under the impression he was alone the whole time.

To be fair, Michigan State head coach Markย Dantonio was being asked a question at the time and not Leach, but that did not stop the internet from falling in love with this very pedestrian, and hilarious, 40-second clip and reacting how only the internet can:ย

I seriously cannot stress how important it is that we protect Mike Leach at all costs. https://t.co/DMY5a9NBUR

I imagine Mike Leach could hold a 10 minute forum on how to cool down a coffee thatโ€™s scorching hot. Also would love his take on the many different choices & how he would breakdown the cream/sugar portion

Mike Leach has to be in the top five reasons to watch college football! He makes blowing into his hot coffee come across as philosophical

If you happen to need some advice on weddings, this national treasure has got you covered on that front as well.

Itโ€™s rivalry week. #WSU is one win away from the @pac12 title game.

But a reporter getting married in 9 days asked @Coach_Leach for wedding advice tonight, and Leachโ€™s answer was incredible. Iโ€™m dying. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ pic.twitter.com/alhOiWd9Tv
