Actually back in the day with the whole Majors thing its a common dialog that splits the UT family. My father was solidly on Majors side. I actually believe theres some truth really to it also.
But I also believe Fulmer is a Tennessee Man to his core. Both narratives can exist. Every family has its skeleton closet
I am of the belief that Fulmer approached Dickey while Majors was recovering. I believe he said something of this nature. Doug the team said they would either quit the team or transfer.if Majors returned. Of course Majors returned and we lost to Arkansas and South Carolina. This is what sealed Majors fate
Fulmer probably lied to Dickey and caused trouble BUT Majors was coach when we lost to Arkansas and South Carolina. So Majors got himself fired
