Northern Illinois coach Thomas Hammock recently showed his players he still has some moves.

The team held a dance contest after a recent practice, and as might be expected, the players showed off some impressive moves.

But the coach, apparently unwilling to be shown up by his players, made his own dance moves, ending with a sort of split.

Twitter declared Hammock the winner.

And one commenter compared Hammock to a fictional football coach.

Of course, the world was already familiar with his singing ability.
