Name another “elite” program who lets their successful coach leave to go to their alma mater, a non elite school. I’ll wait
Johnny Majors leaving a dominant Pitt program at the time for a once good but at the time middling Tennessee program, his alma mater, was very similar. Majors won a national title at Pitt in 1976 and left the next year for Tennessee who was coming off back to back 5 loss seasons. Thinking it makes Oregon look bad that they lost their coach to his alma mater, one that actually has a lot richer history, is a bad take.

There's nothing Pitt could've done to keep Johnny. He built them up from scratch but they weren't home. I'd have done the same thing as would a lot of us on this board.
