Tennessee’s secondary got burned for the second day in a row.

This time it happened not on the field, but when the NFL Countdown crew on ESPN absolutely blasted the Volunteers Sunday morning.

The crew broke down the final play from Tennessee’s 26-20 loss to Florida when the Gators cashed in on a 63-yard Hail Mary to win the game. The former players on set questioned why Tennessee players were lined up the way they were, and attributed it to poor coaching.

“What is this guy doing? … This is coaching right here,” the crew said. “This is coaching responsibility.”

While the crew pointed out several player mistakes, it was emphasized that coaching malpractice was the reason the play happened the way it did.
