$$$ programs. I do think Syracuse has a good one as well, didn't really see us being pushed around at all. Of course equipment only goes so far as the strength coach has to have a plan and the kids have to buy into it.

Johnny Majors
At Tennessee, Majors achieved success in the 1980s and early 1990s winning three SEC championships (in 1985, 1989 and 1990), but falling short of a national title. In 1989, the Majors-led Vols followed a 5–6 season with a 11–1 season, the largest turnaround of the year.
Majors was forced to resign as Tennessee's football coach during the closing weeks of the 1992 football season. The Vols racked up a 3–0 record under interim coach Phillip Fulmer, a longtime Majors assistant, who steered the team while Majors was recovering from heart surgery. After the Vols went 2–3 following Majors' return, he suddenly was asked to resign during the week leading up to Tennessee's game at Memphis State. Some believe that Majors was forced out in order to make room for Fulmer, who had become more popular with a majority of fans following his success as interim coach. A Knoxville News Sentinel story reported that Fulmer allegedly exchanged 26 telephone calls while Majors was recuperating from heart surgery with Tennessee Athletics Board member, Bill Johnson, who had played with Majors in the mid-1950s at Tennessee. A strong contingent within the Tennessee fan base believe that the Majors firing was the result of behind the scenes maneuvering on the part of Fulmer, Johnson, athletics director Doug Dickey, university president Joe Johnson. The other strong contingent believes that Majors created his own problems in the summer of 1992 by, among other things, complaining about his current contract with during a preseason publicity tour across the state.[citation needed] In reality, it was likely a combination of all those circumstances.
