LOS ANGELES — Lynn Swann is midway through year one on the job at USC.
Swann, an alumnus and a Pro Football Hall of Fame member as a wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, replaced Pat Haden as the Trojans’ athletic director last year. He took over the post in July.
It is the first time Swann, 64, has worked in college athletics.
In his second-floor office at Heritage Hall, Swann met with the Southern California News Group to discuss the state of his department, the transition, his approach to the job, the football team’s in-season turnaround, the expectations for next season and more.
