Tennessee football Coach Johnny Majors’ condition was upgraded, two days after quintuple heart bypass surgery.

Majors, 57, is “continuing to make normal progress,” according to a statement from the University of Tennessee Medical Center. He recovered enough to move from the hospital’s open-heart unit to a private room, hospital spokeswoman Lisa McNeal said.

The coach’s condition was upgraded from “serious but stable” to “stable,” the hospital’s highest patient condition category.
