Administrative roles

Athletic director

Pat Haden was named the of the () on July 20, 2010, succeeding , with his appointment effective August 3, 2010. As a former USC and longtime member of the university's board of trustees, Haden took over a program facing significant challenges from prior NCAA sanctions related to the case, including scholarship reductions and a postseason ban that had concluded but left lingering effects on recruiting and operations. During his tenure, Haden focused on restoring compliance, enhancing facilities, and expanding athletic offerings while navigating budget constraints imposed by the sanctions. Haden inherited Lane Kiffin as head football coach, who had been hired in January 2010, but made several high-profile hires to lead the program, including in December 2013 after firing Kiffin, and promoting to permanent head coach in 2015. Under his leadership, USC athletics addressed compliance issues from the Kiffin era. Haden managed the department's budget amid the scholarship limitations, which reduced available player spots by up to 10 per year through 2012, by prioritizing efforts that raised over $400 million for facilities and programs during his time in the role. Key achievements included overseeing major infrastructure improvements, such as the announcement and planning of a $270 million renovation to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in October 2015, which aimed to modernize the 1923 venue with enhanced seating, suites, and fan amenities while reducing capacity from 93,607 to 77,500.

He agreed to remain involved for one additional year to oversee the initial phases of the Coliseum renovation project.

College Football Playoff Selection Committee

In 2013, Pat Haden was selected as one of 13 members of the inaugural (CFP) Selection Committee, announced on October 16 by the CFP organization, with his two-year term beginning for the 2014 season. As a former athletic director and quarterback, Haden brought extensive experience in college athletics to the group, which was tasked with evaluating and ranking teams based on performance metrics to determine the four playoff participants. The committee, chaired by athletic director Jeff Long, included a mix of current and former athletic directors, coaches, and administrators to ensure diverse perspectives in the selection process. Haden played a key role in the committee's work during the 2014 and 2015 seasons, contributing to the weekly rankings released starting November 4, 2014, which culminated in the selection of , , Florida State, and Ohio State for the inaugural playoff. The group met regularly to deliberate on team evaluations, with Haden dedicating approximately 20 hours per week to reviewing games and data, often watching footage during workouts and evenings to prepare thoroughly for discussions. This effort helped the committee navigate complex scenarios in the first year, such as comparing undefeated and one-loss teams, ultimately finalizing the playoff field on December 7, 2014.

These criteria, outlined in the CFP protocol, helped prioritize conference champions and teams with challenging schedules over those with easier paths, ensuring selections reflected overall quality and competitiveness. Haden described the collaborative nature of the deliberations as akin to a "high school math class" where thorough preparation was essential to avoid being underprepared among passionate experts.

Controversies

Administrative tenure issues

During Pat Haden's tenure as USC from 2010 to 2016, several controversies arose related to his oversight of the football program, particularly involving coach and compliance issues inherited from prior administrations. In August 2015, Sarkisian appeared intoxicated at the university's annual "Salute to " booster event, delivering a slurred speech that prompted widespread media attention and criticism. Haden issued a to Sarkisian, who attributed the incident to mixing with prescription medication, and the coach subsequently entered treatment while retaining his position. The situation escalated in October 2015 when reports emerged that Sarkisian had arrived at practice smelling of alcohol, leading Haden to place him on an indefinite leave of absence. Despite initially defending Sarkisian and opting against immediate termination after consulting medical experts who deemed the coach treatable, Haden fired him the following day amid mounting pressure from players, , and the media. Critics argued that Haden's handling reflected poor judgment in monitoring Sarkisian's off-field behavior, exacerbating instability in the program. Haden's administration also faced scrutiny over NCAA sanctions stemming from violations during Lane Kiffin's earlier tenure as head coach from 2010 to 2013. The penalties, primarily related to improper benefits provided to in the mid-2000s, included scholarship reductions that limited 's recruiting through the 2014 season and contributed to on-field struggles. In September 2013, shortly after firing Kiffin, Haden met with NCAA officials to request leniency or vacation of the sanctions, but the request was denied, with the citing the severity of the original infractions. Unsealed documents in 2015 further revealed NCAA criticism of USC for hiring Kiffin despite his prior recruiting violations at , which Haden had downplayed as resolved. Additional criticism targeted Haden's hiring practices, with observers accusing him of favoring personal and professional connections over rigorous vetting. His selection of Sarkisian, a close associate from their time at the , was cited as emblematic of this pattern, especially given Sarkisian's history of alcohol-related issues predating his USC arrival. Similar concerns arose with other appointments, such as interim roles and staff choices perceived as prioritizing loyalty to Haden's network rather than merit-based qualifications, contributing to perceptions of within the athletic department. Haden's leadership was further complicated by recurring health challenges that led to absences during critical periods. In October 2015, he experienced light-headedness before USC's game against , requiring medical assistance on the field and briefly sidelining him amid the Sarkisian crisis. Haden, who had received a in 2014 following heart-related episodes, underwent additional medical evaluations in early 2016, prompting questions about his capacity to provide consistent oversight during a turbulent season. These incidents, while not directly causing controversies, amplified concerns about continuity in athletic department management.

College admissions scrutiny

In 2019, Pat Haden came under federal scrutiny as part of Operation Varsity Blues, a nationwide investigation into a college admissions bribery scheme orchestrated by William "Rick" Singer. Prosecutors examined Haden's interactions with Singer, who had attempted to involve Haden—then a prominent alumnus and former —in facilitating admissions for wealthy clients by posing as athletic recruits. According to reports, Singer met with Haden and associate athletic director Donna Heinel (who was later charged in the scandal) in 2017, after Haden had left his role, and Haden subsequently emailed Heinel inquiring about admitting a female student from as a potential recruit, though no admission occurred. Haden has consistently denied any knowledge of or participation in Singer's fraudulent activities, stating he believed the discussions were legitimate. No charges were filed against Haden in connection with the probe. Separate but related concerns arose regarding Haden's leadership of the George Henry Mayr Foundation, a established in 1949 to provide scholarships primarily to students. Haden served as board chairman starting in 1999, during which he, his daughter, and his sister-in-law received approximately $2.4 million in compensation for part-time roles from 1999 to 2014, with Haden personally earning about $1.2 million. Federal tax records reviewed in a 2016 investigation revealed that scholarship awards declined sharply—from more than 20 annually in the early to just a handful by 2014—while the foundation's assets grew to around $25 million and administrative payouts increased. Allegations surfaced of potential fund diversion, as the foundation lacked a full-time staff, office, or website, raising questions about the propriety of the payments to Haden's family members amid diminishing charitable output. No formal charges resulted from this examination.
