I was thinking the same thing yesterday. I wonder what this message board would have been like (had it been invented) with the Fulmer-Majors situation.

I could not agree more. I think ther major differance is Majors was mostly mad at Fulmer. Fulmer seems to be upset with a lot of people around the university. IMO thats why he wanted that office to try and flex his muscle and show everyone he still had some power.

You are greatly mistaken. Majors has toned down towards others and was mad at the success UT had in the 90's because those years proved his inability at UT. I have heard him in person speaking to TD clubs in other states bash UT. JM knew who I was and when he saw me he was shocked and turned and walked away. I was a fan of his until he did those things. If I hear Fulmer do the same I will be the same towards him.

The amount of people who hated Majors was a lot more. There were no message boards but when the fan base chants for you to leave at a home game....

Besides, had I not heard Majors bash UT (not just fulmer) in front of other fans I would not have an issue with him. Him not liking Fulmer is on him and thats fine. I dont care who he likes or dislikes. But when he bashes my school for a cheap laugh from other fans it causes me to change my opinion of the man.

The main reason Majors wasn't liked at the end is that under Majors bama owned UT.

During Majors tenure UT was a horrible 4-12 against "Bama" and cemented our utter distaste for himself and the Tide.

Fulmer on the other hand turned the tables and went 11-4 against "Bama". The only other UT coach to have as good record against the Tide was General Neyland at 12-5.

Say what you may about Fulmer but he owned our most hated rival "Bama" while he was at the helm.

Shouldn't the proper term be Fulmorons?

It would be interesting to check the record of Bama when Majors was head coach and their record when Fulmer was coach.

I don't know for sure, but I would be $100 Bama had a better overall record when Majors was coach

i believe bama wheeled off about 9 straight against majors. fulmer's record against bama is 10x better that majors'.

Fulmer just had a dismal record against Florida. If Fulmer were here 10 more years, you can bet his record against Bama would have been much different. Fulmer was very good at beating up on the incompetent.

Fulmer did dominate Bama, but I think what he was trying to say is that on the whole, the Bama teams Major's played and lost to were FAR better than a lot of the ones Fulmer won against. There was a good stretch of time in the late 90's and early 2000's that Bama was pretty horrible. During Major's tenure Bama only fielded 1 sub-.500 team. During Fulmer's time they had 4 sub-.500 teams and one that was 6-6.
