He started as a head coach at the Iowa State University in 1968 before moving on to his greatest success as coach of the University Of Pittsburgh Panthers in 1973 . In Pittsburgh he recruited such greats as Heisman Trophy winner Tony Dorsett and Matt Cavanaugh among others. The Panthers won the national title in 1976 , when Majors went back to his alma mater. At Tennessee, Majors achieved success in the 1980's and early 1990's winning multiple SEC Championships, but falling short of a National Championship. In 1992 , Majors suffered a heart attack and was unceremoniously replaced by Coach Phillip Fulmer , he returned to his second home of Pittsburgh to once again coach the Panthers. Throughout the mid-1990's Majors tried to recreate the magic of 1976 in Pennsylvania but only achieved mild success. He retired shortly before the 1997 NCAA season and resides in Pittsburgh.
