Stallings, who was the head coach at Texas A&M University from 1965 to 1971, was going to his 'Legendary Coaches Event' with former Auburn coach Pat Dye.
According to Dye's Twitter, Stallings will be rescheduling this event "as soon as doctors release him."
Stallings was an assistant under legendary Cowboys head coach Tom Landry during Super Bowl VII; he also served as the head coach of the St. Louis/Phoenix Cardinals (1986-1989), and the University of Alabama (1990-1996).

Stallings' condition is unclear, though he is said to be in good spirits.
