Are you serious or is this "amazing interview" thing a bit? Even if you take away all the hysterics about Mack and his potential toxic impact on Texas going forward and just look at Burton's interview in a vacuum, it was mediocre to below average. The questions were fawning, softball and leading the witness ("Mack, would you agree that..."), the answers were shallow with little-to-no follow up ("Sark is doing great," "You need great NIL to compete today," "I keep in touch with former players on Facebook"), and there was zero balanced examination of the bad side of Mack's tenure as you would expect in an "good" interview. I was going to give Burton half-credit for his "which loss stung the most" question, but he loses it when he jumps over and answers it for Mack, and then Mack predictably uses it as an opportunity for excuse making and throwing players under the bus.
I don't blame Burton for this. He's not a professional interviewer, that's a skill. And Mack probably wouldn't be there if he was going to face anything other than softball questions. Maybe, as you said, a softball interview with an over-the-hill coach from a decade ago will generate hundreds of thousands of viewers and that makes it worth it to OTF.
But don't piss in our face and say it's raining by calling this a "good fucking interview" when it clearly is anything but.
