Slow Motion Replay: Remembering Fleming Debenion Thornton, Jr. @bigassfans, @minguabeefjerky, @KyHighFootball, @HopkAthletics, @TrestonKay, @Christian_Co270
Fleming Thornton was among the more respected head football coaches to ever stride a sideline in Kentucky. He won more titles in South Carolina (3) than the two he won in the Bluegrass (1965 & 1966). Thornton had been a first-string tackle at Furman before launching a coaching career in 1949 which would end with his retiring in 1976. We are unsure how many games he won in total. We do know his 108-wins at Hoptown were good enough for the Dawahares folks to enshrine him in 1993.
