I wonder when Jimmy Johnson walks in the Superdome

[wmcovol]

He remembers that ass beating Johnny Majors put on him on NYD 1986?

 

[vols 30]

Probably not. It sure didn't define his career

 

[Golfprovol]

I would think his SB rings is what he remembers

 

[madbamahater]

He has talked about that game multiple times through the years

 

[CAVPUT]

[The Original Fade]

He remembers that ass beating Johnny Majors put on him on NYD 1986?

You honestly think he even remembers that?

You honestly think he even remembers that?

Most coaches say they remember the losses more than the wins.

When you lose a chance at national title. You never forget it.

It seems that I watched a documentary and either he said or someone said he told them, that he knew that his team that year was actually overrated.

Now, does that diminish our VOLS-Sugar? Is that an excuse?

I could be wrong, but I don't remember any TV or newspaper , locally or nationally that gave the Vols a chance. Most expected Miami to blow the Vols out. If they were overrated, the media certainly didn't think that. I seem to remember an interview with Terry Donahue where he claimed film study revealed that when 1 of their lineman placed his hand on the ground a certain way that play was a run. The hand placed a different way meant it was a pass.

He had an NFL roster…..he got beat down

Not sure, but here is a nice tribute that Jimmy Johnson paid to coach Majors when he passed away. Majors was an assistant to Frank Broyles on the national championship 1964 Arkansas squad that included teammates, Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones. Coach Majors gave Johnson one of if not his very first coaching jobs as an assistant at Iowa State.

Wow, Jackie Sherrill, Jimmy Johnson and Johnny Majors

3 legendary Hall of Fame coaches with multiple conference/national championships among them collectively as either player and/or coaches and throw in Johnson's super bowl rings.

Edit:: meant to say Ken Donahue

Sure, but that was such an ass kicking, its probably out of sight out of mind. The Fiesta Bowl the following year against PSU is probably the one that stings him the most. They completely dominated, but turnovers cost them the national title.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

You honestly think he even remembers that?

Oh yeah I guarantee you he remembers it. Just because he coached in the pros and won super bowls doesn’t mean he doesn’t remember his college experiences. Actually many players and coaches have said some of their happiest moments were in college. I know some in this group won’t understand that, but it’s the truth. In fact he has talked many times about them times.GBO

 

[05_never_again]

I'm sure he remembers it. I doubt it is the first thing he thought of when he walked into the stadium though.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I doubt it's the first thing he thinks of; but there's probably a pretty good chance the next time he went into the Superdome after that game it was the first thing that popped into his mind.

One heck of a coaching staff. Majors, Johnson, Sherrill, etc. won a lot of games all of them as coaches.

 

[utvols74]

When you have a Heisman Trophy QB, NFL players all over the field and are supposed to win by 20 for the Natty.....you don't forget that butt-whoppin. Never.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Probably not. It sure didn't define his career

I am sure he does. One does not forget the whipping he took.

You can watch the replay on YouTube. The pregame between Keith Jackson & Frank Broyles is classic. They talk 10 minutes before Tennessee was even mentioned.

At halftime, Tim Brandt closes the interview with Johnson saying “I still think you’re #1”. When have you heard that?

It was late 3rd Qtr before ole Keith & Frank recognize that Miami wasn’t winning the game.

I was there that night. Still my favorite sports event I’ve ever been to simply for the environment & Tennessee total program dominating the game.

That team was loaded. They just got outcoached. Donahue took them to school. Irvin, Jerome Brown, Blades, Testaverde, etc. They went 11-0 next year until Penn St beat them in Fiesta Bowl.

I’m sure he does. That was a straight up ass whippin’

It sure was!! And, I was on the sideline watching it unfold!
