Here’s a look at Pat Haden’s highs and lows:
Highs
• Commitment to athletes
No one can deny Haden showed deep loyalty and care for athletes. He even did exit interviews with seniors to see how he could improve the athletic experience. And he was a huge supporter of women’s sports.
• Fired baseball coach Chad Kreuter
In his first major act weeks into office, Haden fired the unpopular baseball coach. Players rejoiced at the move. It took the baseball program five more years to make the NCAA Tournament.
• National titles
USC’s won 10 national titles during his tenure and only Florida won more in that time.
