It’s one thing to lose your cool on the sidelines, but it’s another when your players turn it into a dance party right behind you. That’s exactly what went down in a throwback clip the SEC Network just brought back, and fans can’t stop laughing at how perfectly the moment played out.
The clip shows Dan Mullen on the Mississippi State sideline during his coaching days, caught in one of those classic football moments that never stop being funny. It came from a matchup against Texas A&M and quickly went viral again, proving that some sideline chaos just gets better with time.
The Sideline Meltdown That Turned Into A Viral Dance Moment
The clip opens with Mullen pacing the sideline, headset on, face locked in pure coach frustration. You can feel the tension through the screen. The clip is from 2015, and Mississippi State’s locked in against Texas A&M, not exactly the kind of setting where you expect to see dancing.
Then the music kicks in. The players behind him start vibing, clapping, and swaying like they just forgot about the scoreboard. One player even throws in a full dance move inches from Mullen’s back, completely ignoring the fact that his coach looks ready to explode.
That’s when the comedy kicks in. The camera zooms on Mullen’s face right as he looks like he’s about to snap, but he doesn’t. Not even a smirk. Just stone-faced discipline while his entire sideline turns into a dance floor.
The SEC Network’s “wait for it” caption was the cherry on top. It’s the perfect college football moment: a serious coach, carefree players, and a perfectly timed beat that still cracks people up ten years later.
Fans Couldn’t Stop Laughing At The Perfectly-Timed Sideline Dance
The comments section instantly turned into a party of its own. One fan summed it up perfectly: “Everybody in da back vibin 😂🙌.” Another couldn’t help but ask, “what song?” while someone else joked, “Gone be running laps for having fun 😂.”
Amid the laughter, plenty of fans took a nostalgic turn. “I miss the Mullen era of Mississippi State football,” one wrote, while another chimed in, “Those were the days.” Others added, “lol did I see the score was 28-7 😂 A&M was getting that butt whipped,” “mullen forever,” and “17 da life of da party! Let’s go!!!! 😂😂😂.”
Mullen didn’t break his focus on camera, but you could tell he was proud of that sideline moment. His players were loose, confident, and having fun, the exact kind of energy that made Mississippi State football so memorable during his run.
The clip has aged like a highlight reel of everything people loved about those teams: swagger, unity, and a little bit of chaos. Even years later, it’s still bringing fans together online, a perfect reminder of when the Bulldogs were the life of the SEC party.
