Gene Stallings was on a ventilator for two days after suffering a heart attack over the weekend.

The former Alabama coach, who has suffered two strokes since May, is resting comfortably at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas after receiving a stent and being taken off the ventilator.

Former Auburn coach Pat Dye confirmed the heart attack to AL.com on Monday evening.

"The doctor thinks he's going to have a full recovery," said Dye, who confirmed Stallings had been placed on a ventilator before a stent was put in place.

"He's back to being ornery and wants to go home," Dye said.

Lynn Huggins, Dye's personal assistant who has been in contact with Stallings' wife, Ruth Ann, confirmed to AL.com that Stallings is expected to make a "full recovery."

Stallings - who developed a clot, according Huggins - was admitted to ICU at the Paris Regional Medical Center before being transferred to Baylor.

"Because he's Gene Stallings, he's not happy about being in bed," Huggins said. "For his age, the doctors feel he's going to make a full recovery."

Huggins added she talked to Ruth Ann on Monday and said, "she is very optimistic, and she sounds better."

Huggins said Stallings was canceling radio appearances this week, but will "start up next week."

In August, the former Alabama coach suffered a "minor stroke" earlier in the day at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport, awaiting a flight to Huntsville for a speaking engagement with Dye.
