Title: Coach Stallings in Tuscaloosa to Help

Gene Stallings, who coached Alabama to the 1992 national title, was near the campus Thursday on a more somber mission.

In a parking lot along mostly demolished 15th Street, Stallings stood over a grill and prepared hamburgers for emergency workers. Stallings, who now lives in Texas, was in Tuscaloosa for a golf tournament that had been canceled because of the storms.

"It just didn't feel right to play golf," Stallings said. "Since I was in town, I just wanted to help out how I could. I'm just out trying to make life a little bit better."

Bryant-Denny Stadium, meanwhile, was turned into a makeshift emergency management center. The city's regular facility was destroyed by the tornado.

Wouldn't have expected anything less from CGS. If he was in the area, I knew he would be on hand to do what he could.

He was in town for a charity golf event with Mal Moore. After the tornado, he said playing golf was inappropriate. He decided to help by flipping burgers.

Coach Stallings is such a class act. I'm proud that he represents Alabama :)
