Larry Smith, R.I.P.

Larry_smithFormer USC football head coach Larry Smith has passed away. He was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 1999.

Smith led the Trojans from 1987 to 1992, a stretch that included three Pac-10 championships and one Rose Bowl victory. His overall record with USC was 44-25-3.

More from AZ Central.

The National Football Foundation also has an interesting read about Smith's work.

USC will be releasing a statement later today.

Adam Rose learned about the highs and lows of USC athletics while going to school. As a freshman, he watched the football team crash to the bottom of the Pac 10. By the time he was a senior, he was in the stands for a National Championship. In between, he liked to argue points as a member of the Trojan Debate Squad. Nowadays, he's just looking to tell a good story. He is currently Sports Editor for LAist, where he covers a wide range of local action. He can also be seen weekly on KNBC 4's News Raw. Adam manages special events in the sports community when he isn't participating himself (he staggered through the LA Marathon and can often be found on local soccer fields). If you have a question about the Trojans or just want to give him a piece of your mind, email: adam@laist.com.
