Yes, he went to VCU where he coached through 1996. He's been doing Auburn games on radio as color analyst.
How he got to Auburn in the first place is a rather bizarre,tragic story in and of itself.Auburn fired Bob Davis after the 1977-1978 season and hired Paul Lambert, from Southern Illinois. In June of 1978 while in Columbus,GA at a two day camp for HS and JR high boys, he died in a fire in his motel room. Auburn then hired Smith from East Tenn St.

That's terrible. What an awful way to die.
