PODCAST: In his own words, the life of Johnny Majors
KNOXVILLE — Former Tennessee head coach and player Johnny Majors died Wednesday.
He was 85.
South-Doyle High School head coach Clark Duncan played for Majors at Tennessee and was a member of his first recruiting class in 1977.
“I just felt like I owed it to him to tell him what he meant to me, and I had the opportunity to do that there,” said Duncan. “And now that he’s passed, it makes me feel really, really good that I had that conversation with him, just to share with him the things that I learned from him, the things he instilled in me, have helped me to be who I am today.
“I’m thankful for that.”
