Four weeks after suffering a mild stroke, Gene Stallings continues to make steady progress in his recovery from it.

Stallings, the former Alabama and Texas A&M coach, gave an update on his condition Thursday on the “The Opening Kickoff” on WNSP-FM 105.5 in Mobile, Alabama.

“I’ve been antsy for the past two or three weeks,” Stallings said. “I drive my golf cart around the ranch. We’re bailing hay as we speak. I need to be on a tractor doing something, and I just can’t. It’s not normal for me to not do anything.”

Stallings reiterated that he has lost the peripheral vision in his right eye, but said he can turn his head and otherwise is in good health.
