How do you figure Majors had a higher football IQ than Fulmer? How do you quantify that?
Regarding Fulmer hiring Cut to be his OC, doesn’t that show a pretty high IQ? Of course, Majors had the IQ to hire Fulmer as HIS OC which led to his best 3 year stretch of football during his tenure at Tennessee, so you may have a point.
I confess that it is a subjective measurement.
I quantify it by observing that Majors has taken 2 programs that were at a nadir and developed them into 1) National Champions at Pitt; 2) NC contenders at Tennessee.
Majors took a team of absolute nobodies and won the SEC in '85 at Tennessee....all while losing his starting QB in T. Rob. with Walt Harris at OC and Ken Donahue as DC.
Does anyone here actually believe that the '98 NC team could've won if we would've lost T Martin after the Bama game???
Majors did hire both Cut and Chief.... Fulmer hired spiderman..... slam dunk for Majors....
I like Fulmer a LOT! However, he NEVER had to build a program from nothing into champions.....
Both Majors and Dickey did.
CPF minus David Cutcliffe = disaster for UT football....
