It’s certainly not unusual for former Tennessee football coach Johnny Majors to take a shot at his former assistant, Phillip Fulmer, who Majors has long asserted had a hand in his ouster in 1992.
Majors at first declined to address UT’s 1-3 start and the pressure on Fulmer during a Tuesday evening speaking engagement with the Huntsville (Ala.) Quarterback Club.
“What’s happening there now I’m not going to get into,” Majors told the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
Then, Majors couldn’t resist.
“Frankly,” Majors said, “I think (defensive coordinator) John Chavis has saved (Fulmer’s) job for 10 years.”
