Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
USC AD Haden gets it: Kiffin needs big 2013 after rollercoaster year
Over breakfast at a Pasadena hotel, Pat Haden recently took the occasion to explain his longer view of USC athletics. Haden, who recently turned 60, knows that 2013 may define his term in office. The coach in question is the 800-pound [Lane Kiffin] in the room. Haden cannot ignore it. ... Toward the end of breakfast, Haden turned philosophical. USC has to stand for something more than Saturdays ... "What does winning mean?" Haden asked in an unguarded moment. "At the end of the day all of our coaches are in the winning business, but it's not entirely, entirely, entirely tied to numbers on the scoreboard. It has to be something bigger or else we're kidding ourselves."
.
.
.
In a down season, the coach's antics were amplified:
• Suspending a reporter the week of the Stanford game.
• The number snafu against, of all teams, Colorado.
• Deflated footballs against Oregon were were blamed on a student manager, but came on Kiffin's watch.
Sometimes Kiffin didn't have to say or do a thing. Oregon set several opponent records in an embarrassing 65-51 win over the Trojans last season. That was a year after USC won in Eugene traveling with only 53 scholarship players.
Which is the real Trojans?
"He is the opposite of Ronald Reagan," Haden said referring to the old Teflon President. If no controversy stuck to Reagan, then everything sticks to USC's coach.
"There's nothing we can do about that," Haden added. "He'll get blamed one way or another with what's going on with Manti Te'o."
