The Tuscaloosa News has reported that Coach Homer Smith died yesterday after an extended illness. Cecil Hurt has an article in the Tuscaloosa News today for any of you that might have access to it.

Quote
The day was Oct. 7, 1989. The place was Jackson, Miss. And the answer was perfect.

The University of Alabama football team had spotted Ole Miss a three-touchdown lead in the first quarter. The early returns indicated that the Crimson Tide was going to suffer its first defeat of the season in spectacular fashion. But suddenly, the Crimson Tide offense, with quarterback Gary Hollingsworth, who had been penciled in as a third-teamer before a rash of early-season injuries, began moving. Then it began racing. Then it took off like a supersonic jet. The Crimson Tide scored 41 points - in the second quarter. It reeled off a staggering 62 unanswered points before Ole Miss got one late score to make the final 62-27.

After the game, I asked the architect of it all - Homer Smith, the UA offensive coordinator - a bland question.

"Coach, what did you think when your team was scoring 62 straight points?" I said.

"Two words," he answered. "Deo Gratias."

I always liked Coach Smith. What an offense we had under his leadership.

Coach you will be missed. God bless.

He was a great offensive mind. I hated it when he left. RIP coach, and blessings to your family during this time.

Coach Homer had a significant impact on Bama football in two different decades.  I always thought it was great that he chose to retire in Tuskaloosa.  RIP coach.  Don't know if there will ever be another one quite like him.
