University of Alabama Director of Athletics Mal Moore was hospitalized Tuesday night at DCH for an irregular heartbeat, UA said in a news release.
“Coach Moore was admitted as a precautionary measure and is doing fine,” Dr. James B. Robinson, Moore’s physician, said.
Moore, 72, has served as UA athletics director since 1999. He was a quarterback for legendary head coach Paul “Bear” Bryant, and later joined Bryant’s staff as an assistant coach from 1965-1982. He also served as quarterbacks coach under head coach Gene Stallings from 1990-1993.
Moore has overseen multiple facilities upgrades at UA, most recently a $9 million strength and conditioning facility for the football team. The football building was dedicated in Moore’s name in 2007.
He was named to the State of Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 2011.
