I can’t help but think that reasoning was hiding some other issue. Maybe, power struggle? I don’t know. However, it was stated in the above article the buyout money had nothing to do with salary freezes.

Seems like that lightning has escaped the bottle.

If anyone has a glutton for punishment, the below link is available. We should have blown them out. Seems as though the team just wasn’t in it mentally.

I remember that LSU game. TV was very much promoting it and, LSU as being a very good team that year. As I remember it, they were bad and we only won by like, 20-0 or something. I was a kid but very underwhelmed. Was Majors feeling heat and toot it out on the assistants at halftime?

I remember reading where they gave Majors a parting gift of $600k, or close to that. Sixteen years later, Fulmer received $6 million as his first parting gift.

I can tell you really care who you allow your son to be around!

I remember the salary freezes around 2010 and tuition increases and, people complaining about all of the buyouts. The university was and has been quick to point out moneys from donors are different that state funding. Sounds like Joe Johnson wanted him gone too.

Anyone remember our Florida games each time Steve Shaw would ref? Is it just me or did he have something to do with those outcomes?

This explains so much-if it’s related to coming back too early. Had never thought of or about that. I remember hearing a story where Majors flipped over Joe Johnson’s desk. Do you think Fulmer intentionally sabotaged Majors in those three losses? I would not think so but was young and not...

The video said Clemson actually offered Fulmer the head coaching job. Did not know that. Thought rumor at the time was USCe?

Came across this video and looking back, wondered if he was done wrong. Seems at that time, most Vol fans wanted Fulmer to take over due to his success earlier in the season. Not commenting Fulmer versus Majors but, wondering if he was done wrong. Seems many thought Fulmer’s end wasn’t handled...

Feels like ‘98.

Seems like most Vol fans wanted him to replace Majors after that impressive start in ‘92. Can’t forget that.

Anyone remember the good ole days when Marriott had the concession contract for the football games and were doing those $10 specials; drink, smokey dog and chips? That began during the Fulmer era and went through at least the Dooley time. I bet they either renegotiated or stopped bidding. As...
