ONE COACH AND THE RACCOON HE CALLED FRIEND
Gene Stallings was the coach at Alabama from 1990—1996. He is a blatantly favored personality on this site for a few reasons. He looks like a weathered old tree, and has since he was 17 years old. Stallings endured the Junction Boys camp at Texas A&M; he was carried off the field by Bear Bryant himself at the 1968 Cotton Bowl when his Aggie team beat the Tide 20-17. Stallings helped start the first school for children with disabilities in Alabama, and showed up to a devastated Tuscaloosa after the 2011 tornado with his grill and a cooler full of hamburgers ready to go for victims and relief workers.
