Wasn't he the head of the President's Council for Physical Fitness under Bush? He did own a AFL team also I thought.

I'm truly stunned USC hired a former player with no AD experience



Unless they start hiring AD's who have already proven to be poor, that still puts them ahead of Tennessee.

Look for Haden to Tennessee.

Good Lord. The USC Athletic Department makes the British monarchy seem like a bastion of diversity.

LA Times story not happy...

"Swann is the third consecutive former USC football player to hold the post.

As for qualifications:

President C.L. Max Nikias said “Swann will bring the heart and soul of a Trojan” to the position."

From LA Times tweets:

USC is replacing Pat Haden with Pat Haden. Lynn Swann: Ex-USC player. Augusta National member. Ex-broadcaster. Corporate board member.

USC is more incestuous than Bama


At least Mal Moore worked his way up the administrative food chain to AD. And Bill Battle ran a successful collegiate licensing company for two decades.

What has Lyn Swann done that qualifies?

So we know he's good at telling little kids to exercise at recess and PE.
