Former Alabama coach Gene Stallings got quite a scare last weekend.
A heart attack described as "massive" had the 82-year old on a ventilator in a Texas hospital, AL.com previously reported. Things are improving, though. Both Nick Saban and broadcaster Eli Gold had updates on the situation live on the coach's radio show Thursday evening.
Saban said he unsuccessfully tried calling Stallings a few times this week, but his assistant Cedric Burns got through Thursday. Saban said Stallings was "doing well."
This was supposed to be a big weekend in College Station for Stallings, a former Aggie coach as well.
