The UFL.That's right.
The United Football League.Bear with me for a second while I explain myself.For those who don't know, AJ McCarron is the head coach of the Birmingham Stallions.
Yes, that AJ McCarron.The former Alabama QB who won three (!!!) national championships with the Crimson Tide under Nick Saban.McCarron was hired last December, replacing Skip Holtz, who led the Stallions to a 2024 title.FORMER ALABAMA FOOTBALL STAR AJ MCCARRON ENDS STATEWIDE POLITICAL BID TO TAKE UFL HEAD COACHING ROLEHead coach AJ McCarron of the Birmingham Stallions stands on the sideline against the Houston Gamblers at Shell Energy Stadium in Houston, Texas, on April 5, 2026.
(Tim Warner/UFL/Getty Images)OK, we all caught up now? Good!Now, let's all head out to Birmingham, where McCarron absolutely laid into his team during halftime of the Week 4 game against Orlando.Video of the tongue-lashing was released last night on the UFL's official YouTube series, "4th & Goal," and it was maybe the most impressive rant I've ever been privy to.Take a look:"Wake the f--- up.Make your f---ing kicks when we got the opportunity.
Stop all this f--king crying and bulls---.All y'all talk about is f--king running the ball.
And then we run the ball.They don't f---ing go anywhere.
F---ing communicate.F---ing tired of it.
We're playing f---ing scared.Scared to not make a f---ing mistake.
F--- that."Ten! I count 10 (!!!) F-bombs in 15 seconds.What a rant.
It's impressive on so many levels.Just the pure, raw anger out of AJ McCarron here is second to none.
I had no idea this dude was this angry, but apparently, he is.EX-ALABAMA STAR AJ MCCARRON CRITICIZES STAR PLAYERS IN TEAM'S UPSET LOSS TO FLORIDA STATEBirmingham Stallions coach AJ McCarron talks with players after a win over the Dallas Renegades at Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Ala., on May 9, 2026.(Butch Dill/UFL/Getty Images)Lordy.
