Former Alabama football coach Gene Stallings is recovering from a stroke suffered on Thursday, according to the AP.

Stallings told the AP he suffered a stroke before a banquet in Montgomery, Ala. where he introduced his former player and current Clemson coach Dabo Swinney. After the banquet, Stallings said he went to a local hospital because he wasn’t feeling well, according to the AP.

The Alabama coach from 1990-1996 traveled back at his home in Paris, Texas on Friday and told the AP his doctors encouraged him to limit travel for six weeks.
