Friday morning was highlighted by the announcement that Pat Haden would be stepped down from his post as the Trojans’ AD, a job in which he’s held since 2010.
Soon after, the Pac-12 commish had remarks about the respected Haden. Here’s what he had to say:
The Pac-12 salutes Pat Haden for his success and impact as athletic director of USC. Over the last six years, Pat was a valuable voice in conference matters and played a leadership role nationally with his fellow Athletic Directors and as a founding member of the College Football Playoff. As a former student-athlete, Pat served as a strong proponent for the benefits of the college experience, and led his Trojans to success on the field and in the classroom.
