These kind of lists are fun but always subjective.Good list, I agree with most of this. I would probably say Army in ‘86 was Majors low point, but it could be USC, that game was brutal.
I would say Memphis for Fulmer.
Fulmer's low point 2008 WyomingThese kind of lists are fun but always subjective.
1996 Memphis was really close to listing over 2005 Vandy.
Memphis was definitely a bigger upset IMHO, but didn't cost us as much. The Vandy loss ended a long win streak VS them and caused us to miss a bowl for the first time since 1988.
Memphis loss annoyed me more though as I live in Memphis. At the time Memphis State had a good basketball program the city was fiercely proud of. The football program was derisively referred to locally as Tiger High and had hardly experienced anything more than marginal success during it's history.
This entire stupid city went upside down celebrating and pretending Tiger High football had always meant something.
1986 Army may have been worse but it's hard for me to get a read on the sentiment of our fan base and the program then. I was only 9 years old in 1986 and hadn't really started following football yet. By 92 I was a die hard Vol Fan. I don't know that Majors could have kept his job, but I know that the USCe game cost us the East. It really didn't help that USCe's annoying mullet headed QB gave us bulletin board material and we still lost.

Idk. That game was after he was told he was being forced out. It was a bad loss but it was kind of inconsequential at the time. The coach and the team were completely distracted. More evidence that Mike Hamilton was probably the most incompetent AD to ever be in charge at Tennessee.Fulmer's low point 2008 Wyoming

Yeah really hard to pinpoint for me Majors or Fulmer’s low point. In my opinion the low points for majors and fulmer occurred when the program was at its height as the losses cost us competing for a national championship or a good bowl. The 90 bama game for majors and the 96 Memphis or 01 Sec champ for fulmer would get my vote.These kind of lists are fun but always subjective.

I agree on Miami w/ Majors, but you could also say for Majors it was snapping the Bama streak at the top and Rutgers loss....you could do Majors on back to back weeks in 1979...loss to Rutgers and crush Notre Dame. For Butch there are so many to choose from...OK loss at Neyland was gut wrenching and so many self inflicted losses. In hind sight, not sure there was an apex for Pruitt.Majors
