Lynn Swann is a USC football legend. He's smart. He's charismatic. He's a member of the NFL Hall of Fame after a brilliant career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's been successful after his football career ended, as a sports commentator and in the corporate world.
What he hasn't been is an athletic director at a Power 5 school, but that is what he is now as USC announced Wednesday that he will replace Pat Haden as of July 1.
Experience? Bah.
Swann's resume is notably similar to Haden's and the man Haden replaced, Mike Garrett: USC football legend.
