Golf Channel thought they'd landed an interview with the great Vince Young, but it turns out it was just a black football coach

This is so embarrassing for the Golf Channel. I'm a little embarrassed myself just watching this interview; I can't imagine how the interviewer feels.

Golf Channel's Lauren Withrow thought she'd catch up with former University of Texas QB Vince Young after he teed off at the BMW Pro-Am, but it turns out the man wasn't Vince Young at all.

 

Yeah, that was Citadel football coach Everette Sands, and definitely not Vince Young.

🤣🤣🤣

Sands is even decked out in Citadel gear, which should've been at least somewhat of a clue to Withrow, since Young made his fame at Texas. But I love how she just left the mic in his face like nothing happened.

For context, here's Vince Young:

I mean, he's black. So at least Golf Channel got that part right.

But man, didn't Sands just take that like a champ? (Not a national champ, just a regular champ.)

The local ABC affiliate caught up with Sands after the mishap.

 

I love that Sands is embracing this!

For the record, Vince Young is playing in the BMW Pro-Am.

No word yet as to whether Golf Channel is going to interview him later in the tournament, or accidentally interview Citadel's Everette Sands again.
