The Death of Gerald Jack

Former assistant athletic director Gerald Jack has passed away. Jack, a native of Paris, Texas, joined former Tide coach Gene Stallings (also a Paris native) at the University of Alabama in 1990.

Jack began his time at Alabama as an assistant coach, but later became assistant athletic director before retiring in 1997.

Gene Stallings referred to Jack as his "right-hand man" and in a more touching tribute Stallings said Gerald Jack was simply..."the best friend I ever had."

Gerald Jack was 74 years old.
