San Francisco 49ers interim coach Mike Singletary dropped his pants in the locker room during halftime of last Sunday's game against the Seahawks, a team spokesperson confirmed Friday.
Apparently, Singletary - who was wearing boxers - pulled down his pants in an effort to motivate his team, which was losing 20-3 at the half.
"I used my pants to illustrate that we were getting our tails whipped . . . and how humiliating that should feel for all of us," Singletary said in a statement.
The 49ers went on to lose, 34-13. It was his first game as head coach since taking over for the fired Mike Nolan on Oct. 20.
