Dedication Gene Stallings ' 57 Head Football Coach 8

”

Page 13 text:

“

Make Qomething Happen! From the basement to the penthouse. That ' s the spiraling upward surge that young Gene Stallings took the Texas Aggies on in the scant period of three football seasons. When Stallings took over the gridiron reins at Aggieland in December, 1964, the Aggies were coming off a 1-9 season and a decade-long championship dearth. After three seasons under the dynamic and dedicated Texan, the Aggies own the 1967 Southwest Conference championship and a storybook apprentice-over-the-master bowl win. The ' Stallings Story ' is one of devotion to duty, concentration on details and positive thinking. Stallings had one goal in mind when he arrived back at his alma mater—to rejuvenate Aggie football and restore the pride and tradition of winning at Aggieland. It was a pride and tradition he knew as end and tri¬ captain of the 1956 team. That he matched Coach Paul Bryant ' s own A AA championship timetable bears out what the Alabama coach said when Stallings was lured off his staff by A AA: He ' s the top young college coaching pros¬ pect in America. Texas Aggies believed Bryant then. The few skeptics have since joined the fold. Stallings calls his 1967 champions the biggest ' Big Play ' football team with which I ' ve ever been as¬ sociated. To list the ' big play ' feats of the 1967 season would make a book in itself. The epic grew in 1968, in a 20-16 win over Bryant ' s Crimson Tide in the Cotton Bowl. Stallings is a native of Paris, Tex., where he was an all-around athlete and leader. He captained football, basketball and golf squads at Paris High. He entered Texas A AA in the fall of 1953, played on the Fish eleven and then won three varsity letters under Bryant. He was all-SWC his junior season and tri-captain of an unbeaten championship club his senior year. Following his final varsity game he was married to the former Ruth Ann Jack of Paris. They have four children: Daughters Anna Lee, Laura Nell and Jacklyn and one son, John AAark. When Bryant went to Alabama after the 1957 season he took Stallings along as an assistant. When Stallings was hired by A AA he had become Bryant ' s assistant head coach. Stallings ' motto for his Aggies bounces out of a sign on the office wall behind his desk: AAake Some¬ thing Happen. In three short years he did just that with his Texas Aggie football team.
