A bit off topic, but when Fulmer was hired, what part, if any, did he have in Johnny Majors being forced out? My brother was a big UT fan, but he didn't personally care so much for Fulmer because of what he perceived/"heard" of his alleged lobbying for the job behind Majors back...any UT fans know if any of that is accurate or is it just urban legend?

There's some truth to it. But like most stories, what really happened is often embellished by people with an axe to grind. :cough: Scrooster/Bama fans :cough:
At the time, Majors was a mean drunk that treated the players and coaches like shite. The players were ready to quit if Majors had remained the coach.
Fulmer obviously lobbied for the position when Majors had his heart attack. But he didn't "stab him in the back".
Fun fact : Majors was stopped for DUI 2 weeks before his Heart Attack. Part of the story you never hear.
