Oh, BTW
Why have a press conference?
Because they are required by their conference and/or the school to hold them to promote the school and team.  I can assure you that almost every coach in the country would prefer to not have a press conference if that was an option.

Also do you really believe the coaches want to chat with the sideline reporter at halftime?  That's another contractual obligation filled with partial truths at best.  My favorites are the conversations between the sideline reporter and the coaches of teams down by 3 or 4 TDs at half.  Those are classics because you know the coach's words to the team were a little different.
