A couple of his Pitt teams were among the best ever.
RIP “DRUM”.
His coaching career back at Tennessee ended rather awkwardly...He wasn’t having a very good season and had a heart attack...Philip Fulmer took over and began to win...Majors came back way too soon because Fulmer had turned things around...He was never the same after that and Fulmer was hired as the next head coach...
RIP.
RIP, Johnny.
Bill Battle was coach at UT when I got there and soon Johnny came marching home from Pitt. We were excited thinking his Pitt magic could revive Big Orange football but it must have worn off. He stayed away from UT after the Fulmer resurrection but ended his days as an active Vol for Life. He was a hoot to watch on his Sunday morning coaches show. I swear he was looped sometimes. (They filmed usually on Sat night). In his playing days, he placed second in the Heisman Trophy behind Paul Hornung -ND/Green Bay Packers. I thought a lot of Coach Majors.
RIP from the Gator Nation!
