Stallings, 32, is the youngest head football coach in the SWC. He took over the A&M helm in 1965 after serving seven years as an assistant to Bryant at the University of Alabama. The Paris native won all- Southwest Conference recognition at A&M in 1955 and was tri captain of the undefeated 1956 team, the Aggies last conference champions before this past sea son. After graduating from A&M in 1956, Stallings moved to Ala bama after one year as Fish coach. He spent seven years at Tuscaloosa under the man that Stallings has patterned himself after, Paul (Bear) Bryant.
