Former NFL veteran and Super Bowl champion Terrell Buckley isn’t satisfied with how his first year as XFL head coach is going, not dwelling on where he thinks the problem lies.
Buckley, who is now off to an 0-2 start after his orlando guardians lost 30-12 to San Antonio Brahmas on Sunday, blasting his team at midgame for their apparent lack of effort, adding that he’s looking for «young guys who want to play.»

The bad tensions were evident during a moment with a microphone where the ex pittsburgh steelers Wide receiver Eli Rogers, who was selected by the Guardians earlier this year in the 2023 XFL Supplemental Draft, told Buckley «I’m not going out.»
Buckley was not happy about it.
«You’re going out. This isn’t your fucking team. Don’t tell anyone you’re going out or in. Watch your fucking mouth.»

If viewers thought Buckley’s midgame interview was harsh, after the game, when asked if there was anything positive he took from the loss, he simply replied, «No.»
