Gene Stallings re-hospitalized after recent stroke, loses peripheral vision in one eye

Days after suffering a mild stroke, Gene Stallings has been re-hospitalized for a second time.

The former Alabama and Texas A&M coach was taken to the emergency room near his Paris, Texas home after a spike in his blood pressure, WBRC reported Monday.

Stallings was kept in the hospital overnight but was said to be resting comfortably.

Stallings, though, told WBRC that his vision in his right eye was affected by the stroke.

“The bottom line is I’ve just lost my peripheral vision to the right. You can be three inches to my right and I just can’t see you,” Stallings said from his hospital bed.
