Pat Haden will retire from USC in June

[IrishBlooded]

Means they might get a better AD who might hire a better coach after this year.

This is bad news for ND - he has done a perfect job at USC.

Just as Beach predicted. I think Haden is a good man, and a bad fit for the AD job. The HC must be feeling a little insecure right about now.

Could be good. Maybe he will pick his replacement.

Hopefully they struggle the next few years and need the AD to hire another coach

I think the main problem Haden had was that to be brutally blunt you have a bit of sleeze to become a TOP AD anymore and he just did not have that.

Hopefully they go 0-12 every year for the next century.

Word on the street is Pete Carroll in as AD. Hugh Freeze in as new Head coach.

I heard the next AD at UOJ will be a former realestate agent who can get the best deals on houses for players families.

Maybe they will bring back Mike "Everyone wishes they could be Trojans" Garrett.

Sadly correct IMO. If Lopes is picked it is bad for SC, good for our rivals.

Have to assume this is a joke.

Just in time to return to the booth in September

I don't think Uncle Jack is a fantastic AD and a man of high integrity. Pat was the right man during the NCAA investigation and punishment years. Maybe he comes back to the NBC booth.

I know a lot of people ripped Haden's job announcing our games, but I personally thought that he did a pretty good job. I certainly prefer him to Flutie.

Beach,

Forgive my ignorance, but who is Lopes and why would he/she not be a good hire for you? Thanks in advance.

Assistant to Pat, trained under him. Considered a Haden clone. Pat is a good man and bad AD. Just hard to believe his mentee will be good. N
