Major was a hard coach to work for. Fulmer and all the coaches were leaving at the end of the season. Something had to be done and getting rid of Majors was the best solution. I think Fulmer was going to go to Clemson, I am not sure. Its been a long time.
You have to remember that Fulmer brought in Clawson but he still ran the offense. He didn't let him pick the QB to run the system. He did the same with Sanders and fired him. He makes the decisions and the coaches have do what he says. I liked Fulmer but if he had hired his coaches and let them...
When you sucker punch someone when they are trying to stop a fight you should be set down. It makes me sick to see the coaches praised for sitting him down because they tried to cover it up to start with. He is lucky not to be going to court, if he was anyone else he would be.
