    Former Army head coach Homer Smith, regarded as one of keenest offensive minds in the annals of college football, has died. He was 79.

    Smith, coach of the Black Knights from 1974-78, died Sunday at his home in Tuscaloosa, Ala., after a four-year battle with cancer.

    Smith was an assistant at several schools in his 39-year career, never staying long enough at any one place to put down roots. He coached at Stanford, Air Force, Alabama, Arizona and the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs and served three stints as offensive coordinator at UCLA.
