Stallings Named
Athletic Director
MiMMBw
:
COACH GENE STALLINGS
A«&M’s new athletic director.
An era that began at Texas
A&M on Dec. 7, 1964, took on a
new dimension over the weekend
with the naming of Head Foot
ball Coach Gene Stallings as
athletic director.
Stallings, who returned to his
alma mater to head the fortunes
of the Texas Aggie football team,
will take over officially today. He
will continue to serve as head
football coach.
“The athletic council believes
that Stallings will show the same
determination to excel in all
sports that he has demonstrated
in football,” Chairman O. D.
Butler said. “He will continue to
improve the well-rounded sports
program at Texas A&M.”
Butler said departmental re
sponsibilities will be expanded
for Marvin Tate, associate ath
letic director, and Wally Groff,
business manager. Both were
named to the staff last year.

the Aggies during the Paul
(Bear) Bryant era, succeeds Bar-
low (Bones) Irvin who is retiring
after a student-coach-administra-
tor association with A&M total
ing 27 years.
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.
When Stallings came to A&M,
Bryant said then that Aggieland
was getting the top young coach
ing prospect in America. In his
third season as a head coach,
Stallings bore out Bryant’s state
ment.
In his first season, Stallings’
team finished at 3-7. In 1966, his
second year, the Aggies finished
4-5-1. This season’s champion
ship squad finished at 6-4 in
regular season play.
Stallings’ 1967 Aggies came
back from the brink of disaster
to defeat six consecutive confer
ence foes and then down Bryant’s
Alabama squad in the Cotton
Bowl.
Hank Foldberg, succeeded as
head football coach by Stallings,
also served as athletic director.
Irvin assistant director, took over
as athletic director when Stall
ings assumed coaching duties.
