Keeping it as a coach I assume, but at the time the Vandy loss was more embarrassing than Wyoming in my opinion. Because Fulmer already knew it was over at that point
One of Dooley’s low points had to be the 2012 loss to Missouri in Quadruple Over-time.
Tennessee (At Home) had the ball near mid-field with about 1:50 to go in the 4th Quarter — And Dooley chooses to “down-the ball”(!??!!!!!!) and play for Over-time….
No guts - No glory! A prominent theme under his leadership…..
Fulmer's loss to Memphis was absolute garbage. 1996 team was too talented to drop a game like that.
it was aided and abetted by a bad call. Memphis scored kind of late on a KO return in which the player should have been called down but wasn't. Our team stopped playing (which they should not have..."play to the whistle"), and that ended up being the difference.
That was pre-replay...the return would have been called back nowadays.
Idk. That game was after he was told he was being forced out. It was a bad loss but it was kind of inconsequential at the time. The coach and the team were completely distracted. More evidence that Mike Hamilton was probably the most incompetent AD to ever be in charge at Tennessee.
I agree on Miami w/ Majors, but you could also say for Majors it was snapping the Bama streak at the top and Rutgers loss....you could do Majors on back to back weeks in 1979...loss to Rutgers and crush Notre Dame. For Butch there are so many to choose from...OK loss at Neyland was gut wrenching and so many self inflicted losses. In hind sight, not sure there was an apex for Pruitt.
For Fulmer, losing to Wyoming while he was a lame duck was pretty bad.Majors
