WATCH: Former Florida legend Shane Matthews curses on live TV in XFL game

One of the big draws of the XFL has been broadcasting the audio of the coaches as they send in the play calls to their players. On Sunday evening, former Florida legend Shane Matthews showed why they don’t broadcast coach audio in most football games, because the coaches would curse too much. He is currently the quarterbacks coach for the Orlando Guardians and he got upset after he made a mistake after sending the play in.

Check it out as Matthews in the play call in the game between San Antonio Brahmas and the Orlando Guardians. Once he messes up, he drops a F bomb.

The Brahmas ended up defeating the Guardians on Sunday, 30-12. While the XFL has put out an admirable product and it’s actually been pretty decent football, the ratings have not been very good for the league. The XFL 3.0 has seen a significant slide in their ratings compared with the XFL 2.0 version, per Pro Football Talk. That’s something that surely The Rock and the many other people invested in the league don’t want to hear.

As a quarterback in the National Football League, Matthews played for the Chicago Bears (1993-1996), Carolina Panthers (1997-1998), another stint with the Chicago Bears (1999-2001), Washington Commanders (2002), Cincinnati Bengals (2003), Buffalo Bills (2004-2005), and Miami Dolphins (2006). He went undrafted in the 1983 NFL Draft.

Shane Matthews was an all-time great for the Florida Gators

During his college football career with the Florida Gators, Matthews helped guide them to their first official SEC Championship under Steve Spurrier. He set a new program record for passing yards (it was later broken), and finished fifth in the 1991 Heisman Trophy voting. Matthews had a highly decorated career during his time in Gainesville, earning first team All-SEC honors in 1990, 1991, and 1992. Once he hung up his cleats at Florida, he’d completed 722 of 1,202 passing attempts for 9,287 yards and 74 touchdowns. Matthews also led the SEC in passing for three consecutive years (1990-1992). The Gainesville Sun recognized him as the No. 9 all-time Gator football player in the program’s history.

During his football coaching career, before joining the XFL and the Guardians, Matthews spent most of his time in the high school coaching ranks, including a brief stint with Nease High School (2012-2013). It’s the same high school that produced another former Florida legend, former Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow.
