Haden is a once in a lifetime, a person beyond the loyalty of the fan and the school bias, says columnist Bill LA Times Dwyre.The only disappointment in the news about Pat Hayden is that he also, as I have USC athletic director, not the governor of California. shock wave in this recruitment is that for so long for someone to find out - especially in his own school.
It was months after the NCAA put USC on the public walk trough. For all the good he did in his nearly two decades presided over the Trojans' sports department, Mike Garrett was clearly and indisputably toast. Even if it's not his fault, the buck stops with the guy in the big office on these things.
In search of a sports school directors are always looking for one of his first. They want someone who represents them - especially good if it is on the playing field. They want someone with a good reputation, preferably with a nice personality and flair with speeches 10000 Helicopter Club lunch is going to be in the future from this person. They want someone honest and realistic. With a great sense of humor and stories of success in life are good bonuses.
Thus, USC, how difficult was it? You have the tough decision deciding what you want for breakfast.
Credit the new guy, who was elected president Max Nikias. It is not known and listened to the right people. In any case, he got it right.
How do you read news stories about hiring Hayden, a new Trojan athletic director had already jumped on the sword sharp moral. Read his lips: "No more deception.
He will likely say the same thing, even if he does not come on board partially sunken ship. He has pretty much lived a life of doing it right, honestly, with hard work and perseverance.
Hayden was married to one woman for 34 years, raised four children, made a lot of money in an investment company and to maintain public profile sport with his work as a network analyst for NBC Notre Dame home football games.
Only a man of wit and intelligence Hayden can pull that from. He really was the time a popular figure on the Irish campus, although it was known that he was the enemy. Every two years, he had to do TV games Notre Dame-USC at Notre Dame Stadium, to maintain its objectivity, to maintain its credibility with the Irish fans, and then fly home to Los Angeles, and faces of all those Trojans you can bet, was hanging on every word.
It probably helped that USC almost always won. But he took off that tightrope walk over a decade. Anyone can do it, will probably find that sports director things a piece of cake.
In fact, the biggest negative about hiring Haden for some of the Trojan nation - doctors, lawyers, managers, sports editors, and at least several hundred certified wackos - is that this column is already out of control in her gushing, written Domer.
You can look at all the conspiracy theories you want. In fact, Hayden is a once in a lifetime, a person goes beyond the loyalty of the fan and the school bias. He is a class act that is ideal for work in a place where his school holds its classes.
He will handle his work with a wonderful sense of humor, which will be updated in the Heritage Hall. Say whatever you want about Garrett, but he did not knee-slap kind of guy.
Hayden had already hired his longtime teammate, JK McKay, watching football program in Lane Kiffin. Just Haden and McKay on the passage from each other on a daily basis will audition for "Saturday Night Live".
Haden tells people how he made a mediocre wide receiver McKay's career a little bit better, constantly hitting a small, but slowly, Mackay in the hands each time. McKay will be against the flask with several small defender, including one on a trip of a weak field, waiting, and then go to see him kind of leap in his direction.
"He was so small," McKay said: "that you never knew if he threw her out and punted it."
Living in Heritage Hall will be fun, maybe even less football-oriented. Hayden said that among his priorities will continue to rise in women's sports. He said that the fruits of Title IX changed our lives, give women a chance in life, which led to a remarkable sporting success, which we saw at the last Olympics.
Just Cause - although this does not happen - will be judged a little less Haden Cup victories and defeats for some time. NCAA took a lot of bullets from a pistol there.
It was enough, but now with a hard class for athletes from the University of Southern California was the value of social Long Snapping. Too often, however, the antics of the few in the sports department have detracted from growth in academic school.
It happened again with the consequences of Pete Carroll and Reggie Bush and needs to be addressed. The incoming president of "USC" did not.
