VR2 on SI Special Edition Podcast: A Conversation with ESPN's Ryan McGee on the late, legendary Johnny Majors

Volunteer Country

This Saturday's matchup between Tennessee and Pittsburgh will mark the first installment of the Johnny Majors Classic. Majors, of course, won a national title at Pitt and captured three SEC championships in Knoxville -- but only after completing a Hall of Fame career as a tailback for the Vols.

Majors' coaching career at Tennessee coincided with the collegiate years of Ryan McGee, who worked as a video assistant for the football team before moving on to work for ESPN.

Unfortunately, Majors passed away last summer. After his passing, McGee published a column as an ode to Majors, the man he called, "Coach." In that work, McGee detailed his daily conversations with Majors, with plenty of insight into the man we know as a college football legend.

So, with Majors' memory being honored this Saturday at Neyland Stadium, McGee was nice enough to join VR2 on SI's Jake Nichols for a full conversation about the late, legendary Johnny Majors.

Enjoy, and be sure and keep up with VR2 on SI for all things Tennessee Athletics.
