Coach Stallings in Tuscaloosa to Help

[BAMAWV]

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.

This guy just exudes CLASS. Roll Tide CGS.

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's going to ruin that sweater.

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.

CJS has always and will always be a Crimson Tide family. He loves Alabama as you can tell. RTR!

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