That must be either the '85 0r '86 season staff. I recognize coaches, Fulmer, Donahue, Mathews, Kippy Brown, Cutcliffe, Zook and Walt Harris, along with coach Majors.Here's a nice picture of Johnny Majors and one of his Tennessee coaching staffs

Al Saunders bottom right. Is the guy between Zook and Cutcliffe Bumpas? He is the only one I do not know for sure. Thought Zook was only here for the 1985 season. May be wrong on that.That must be either the '85 0r '86 season staff. I recognize coaches, Fulmer, Donahue, Mathews, Kippy Brown, Cutcliffe, Zook and Walt Harris, along with coach Majors.
I met Al Saunders on the elevator at the Senior Bowl, January 2017. I am a huge Titans fan and had my Titan hat on - he reminded me he was the Rams offensive coordinator for Super Bowl 34 (still hurts). He was very kind, told me he had many fond memories of his years in Tennessee. I also got Josh Dobbs to autograph my Vol hat, so it was a great trip. I was very touched by Joshua as I had a great nephew who passed away at 12 years of age. Josh and the team visited my great-nephew Ethan when he was ill. Will never forget their kindness.Al Saunders bottom right. Is the guy between Zook and Cutcliffe Bumpas? He is the only one I do not know for sure. Thought Zook was only here for the 1985 season.

For some reason I recall that SI did a cover story in 1977 with the theme of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" and/or with another quote from Majors "It mean something to wear that orange jersey" . Maybe it was a regional SI or some other sports magazine but I can't find it online. The other quote from Johnny was "Our day will come" after a loss to Fla in either 1984 or 1991. Unfortunately for Johnny that day never came.
