The John Facenda (NFL FIlms) piece from 1984 was money.

I’ve enjoyed this so much. This was mostly before my time, but I remember a handful of the games from the end of his career. With all the negative stuff we’re constantly inundated with right now this was a great distraction. I needed that and didn’t even know it .

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Wow, i think i have some dust in my eyes... Ok maybe it's a tear

I was 9 when he was hired, and remember well the excitement about Johnny coming home.

Great one hour production! They could’ve easily made it two hours and expanded several segments! The things that made him who he was are all in there, but you have to pay attention to every part and even read between the lines on some, but the reactions by everyone are all you need to see to know he is the epitome of a Tennessean and Volunteer! RIP JOHNNY MAJORS

 

[NorCalVol67]

And now we get to watch GA lose.

 

[StarRaider]

I was a UTK freshman when John Majors came home... more concerned with trying to pass engineering courses than football games then lol.

 

[Boca Vol]

The SEC in the late 70's-80's had some outstanding coaches....in both football and basketball.

What a great production by VFL films. Johnny was a legend, no doubt about it!

 

[StarRaider]

Trivia question - what do Bear Bryant and Steve Spurrier have in common?

Both lost the last game they played vs. Coach John Major's VOLS on Shields Watkins Field.

 

[SDV]

I loved that

 

[Boone&Crockett]

Should have played one of his big wins right afterward but loved it

 

[Jax_Vol]

Pittsburgh beating Georgia isn't a big one?

 

[lewis co vol]

I was 10 when Phil took over for Johnny.

 

[NorCalVol67]

You mean when Phil... nevermind.

 

[Boone&Crockett]

Pittsburgh beating Georgia isn't a big one?

Lol, you know it didnt even dawn on me that was his championship game, I was thinking Tennessee games not Pitt but yeah I guess it was

 

[allvol123]

That was great. Several times I got chill bumps.

 

[StarRaider]

We have get to share CJM with our Pitt brothers and sisters.

I did like how they pointed out that Pitt remained good for 4 or 5 years after Majors left, pointing out how good he built the program.

I was there. Gault with the 100+ kick six and we missed the extra point. Our only score.
