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.
