Haden is a [[Rhodes Scholar]], was a practicing attorney from 1982 to 1987, and was a partner at [[Riordan, Lewis & Haden]], a [[private equity firm]], from 1987 to 2010. He is also known for his work as a former sportscaster, beginning with [[CBS Sports]] in 1982, and ending his career in that field as a color commentator for [[NBC Sports]]' Notre Dame football coverage.
 
==Biography==
 
===Early years=life==
Born in [[Westbury, New York]], to working-class [[Irish American]] parents, Haden is the fourth of five children. He had a close relationship with his mother, Helen Haden, who told her children to "Live your life so that you have standing room only at your funeral."<ref name=LAT072410>David Wharton, [https://web.archive.org/web/20100727142559/http://articles.latimes.com/2010/jul/25/sports/la-sp-0725-pat-haden-20100725 Pat Haden is still a dashing figure], ''Los Angeles Times'', July 24, 2010, Accessed July 25, 2010.</ref>
 
As a boy, Haden had a boyhood paper route, then worked at a shoe store where he also pushed accessories in order to earn an extra commission. He had the same mentality in sports, where he used smarts and toughness he gained from keeping up with his older brothers to compensate for physical shortcomings. By high school, his parents had moved to Southern California.<ref name=LAT072410/>
 
Haden played high school football at [[Bishop Amat Memorial High School]] in [[La Puente, California]], where he became starting quarterback.<ref name=LAT072410/> He became close friends with teammate [[J.K. McKay]], son of then-USC football coach [[John McKay (American football)|John McKay]]; the two were opposites: J.K. was quick-witted and easygoing, while Haden was more reserved. Haden and McKay shared the [[CIF Southern Section]] Player of the Year award in 1970. When Haden's parents had to move again, he stayed with the McKays for his senior year of high school.<ref name=LAT072410/> He was highly sought after and was recruited by many schools, including [[University of Notre Dame|Notre Dame]]. Haden was inducted into the [[National High School Hall of Fame]] in 1995.
===Playing career===
 
====High schoolCollege career====
Haden played high school football at [[Bishop Amat Memorial High School]] in [[La Puente, California]], where he became starting quarterback.<ref name=LAT072410/> He became close friends with teammate [[J.K. McKay]], son of then-USC football coach [[John McKay (American football)|John McKay]]; the two were opposites: J.K. was quick-witted and easygoing, while Haden was not. Haden and McKay shared the [[CIF Southern Section]] Player of the Year award in 1970. When Haden's parents had to move again, he stayed with the McKays for his senior year of high school.<ref name=LAT072410/> He was highly sought after and was recruited by many schools, including [[University of Notre Dame|Notre Dame]]. Haden was inducted into the [[National High School Hall of Fame]] in 1995.
 
====College career====
Prior to College Football Haden and McKay won the CIF championship game in overtime against Lakewood High School. The game was played at the LA Coliseum, where Haden would go on to lead the Trojans to many victories.
 
Haden and J.K. McKay joined the highly regarded USC Trojans under head coach John McKay; they joined a group of friends in living at an apartment building just off campus.<ref name=LAT072410/> At USC, he made it to three [[Rose Bowl Game|Rose Bowl]] appearances and won two national championships. In the final game of his college career, the [[1975 Rose Bowl]], he was named co-[[Most Valuable Player]]. Haden also was a recipient of the [[Today's Top VIII Award|Today's Top V Award]] in 1975, which at the time honored five (now ten) senior student-athletes. He was put into the GTE Academic All-American Hall of Fame in 1988. He was inducted into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame in 1995. An athletic and academic stand-out, he was awarded a [[Rhodes Scholarship]].<ref name=LAT072410/>
 
In [[1973 USC Trojans football team|1973]], he threw for 1,832 yards with 13 TD vs 11 INT. In [[1974 USC Trojans football team|1974]], he threw for just 988 yards (in part due to 98 fewer pass attempts) but still threw 13 TD vs 11 INT.<ref>http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/usc/sports/m-footbl/auto_pdf/2011-12/misc_non_event/2011-footbl-media-guide.pdf {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303200039/http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/usc/sports/m-footbl/auto_pdf/2011-12/misc_non_event/2011-footbl-media-guide.pdf |date=March 3, 2016 }} {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}</ref>
 
====Professional career====
Haden played one season in the [[World Football League]], its last, for the [[Southern California Sun]], which allowed him to attend school in [[England]] at [[Oxford University]] under his Rhodes Scholarship. His decision to go to the [[United Kingdom]] for schooling hurt his NFL possibilities, as did a lack of height ({{height|ft=5|in=10}}) and arm strength, and he dropped to the seventh round of the [[1975 NFL draft|NFL Draft]].<ref>[http://www.databasefootball.com/draft/draftyear.htm?lg=NFL&yr=1975 1975 NFL Draft on databaseFootball.com<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080327011959/http://www.databasefootball.com/draft/draftyear.htm?yr=1975&lg=NFL |date=March 27, 2008 }}</ref>
 
Line 76 ⟶ 71:
Haden was rewarded with the starting position from day one in [[1978 Los Angeles Rams season|1978]]. The Rams started fast, winning their first eight games, but tailed off to 12–4, and won their third straight NFC West Division title. Haden threw a pair of touchdown passes and led the Rams to a 34–10 victory against the [[1978 Minnesota Vikings season|Vikings]] in the first round of the playoffs. The defending champion [[1978 Dallas Cowboys season|Dallas Cowboys]] walloped the Rams 28–0 in the [[NFL playoffs, 1978-79#NFC: Dallas Cowboys 28, Los Angeles Rams 0|1978 NFC Championship Game]] on their way to [[Super Bowl XIII]]. Haden was voted the [[Washington D.C. Touchdown Club]] NFC Player of the Year of the 1978 season.
 
Haden began the [[1979 Los Angeles Rams season|1979]] season as the starter, but a broken finger midway through the season sidelined him in favor of [[Vince Ferragamo]], who led the Rams to [[Super Bowl XIV]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Rank|first=Adam|url=httphttps://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000145424/article/alt-ranks-most-spectacular-usc-qbs-in-nfl-history-0ap1000000145424|title=Alt Ranks: Most spectacular USC QBs in NFL history|publisher=[[National Football League]]|date=February 26, 2013|access-date=February 26, 2013}}</ref>
 
Because of Rams' coach [[Ray Malavasi]]'s policy of giving an injured starter his job back, Haden began the [[1980 Los Angeles Rams season|1980]] season as the starter with Ferragamo as the backup. Haden was injured in the Rams season opener against the Detroit Lions. Ferragamo took over as the starter and didn't relinquish the job (despite Haden returning mid-season), passing for a then Rams-record 30 touchdown passes.
Line 82 ⟶ 77:
Ferragamo, however, bolted the Rams for the [[Canadian Football League]]. Haden went into the [[1981 Los Angeles Rams season|1981]] season as starter, but was injured midway through the season. After the season, while recovering from knee surgery and contemplating retirement, he got a call from [[NFL on CBS|CBS]] about a broadcast job and decided to take it.<ref name=LAT072410/>
 
===Broadcasting career===
After spending a few years at CBS, Haden was hired as the [[color commentator]] for [[NBC Sports]]' coverage of [[Notre Dame Fighting Irish football|Notre Dame]] [[college football]], and held similar duties for their [[Arena Football League (1987–2008)|Arena Football]] coverage from 2003 through 2006 and [[Fox Sports (USA)|Fox Sports]]' [[Bowl Championship Series]] coverage in 2008. His position as the Notre Dame color commentator is ironic in that he, as USC's quarterback in 1974, helped orchestrate one of Notre Dame's greatest losses (and, conversely, one of USC's greatest wins, known as "The Comeback"). The Trojans won 55&ndash;24 despite trailing 24&ndash;0 at one point and 24&ndash;6 at halftime.<ref name="2006 USC Guide History">{{cite web

Haden also was a color man for [[CBS Sports]]' [[College Football on CBS|college football coverage]] (being one of a three-man booth with former Notre Dame coach [[Ara Parseghian]] and play-by-play man [[Brent Musburger]], and later working with [[Jim Nantz]] [as a color analyst on games, and a co-host in the studio with Nantz before that in 1985]), and provided color commentary for [[NFL on TNT|TNT]]'s Sunday night football coverage and [[NFL on Westwood One|Westwood One]]'s radiocasts, primarily working the Sunday night schedule which immediately followed his TV commitments (at the time, TNT and [[ESPN Sunday Night Football|ESPN]] split the Sunday night games between them, with TNT broadcasting the first half of the season and ESPN the second half).
 
Haden also called one and some [[NFL on CBS]] games in 1988 and 1989 during the busier weeks of the [[1988 NFL Seasonseason|1988-1988–]][[1989 NFL Seasonseason]], when the network's seven announcing teams weren't enough to cover the network games.
 
===Private equity career===
In 1987, he joined [[Riordan, Lewis & Haden]], a [[private equity]] firm based in Los Angeles that focuses on making investments in growing, profitable businesses with $20 – 200 million in revenue. He has served as a director of a number of RLH portfolio companies including TetraTech, Systems Management Specialists, Data Processing Resources Corporation (formerly NASDAQ: DPRC), The Apothecary Shops, and Adohr Farms. Haden remained a partner at RLH until assuming the position of athletic director for the University of Southern California.
 
===Athletic director===
Haden replaced [[Mike Garrett]] as the USC Trojans athletic director on August 3, 2010.<ref>[http://www.usctrojans.com/genrel/072010aaa.html USC President-Elect C. L. Max Nikias Announces New Leadership in Athletics], USC, July 20, 2010</ref> On September 8, 2014, he and USC football coach [[Steve Sarkisian]] were reprimanded by Pac-12 Conference commissioner [[Larry Scott (sports administrator)|Larry Scott]] for attempting "to influence the officiating, and ultimately the outcome of a contest" during the September 6 game with Stanford. Haden was fined $25,000.<ref>Gary Klein, [https://www.latimes.com/sports/usc/uscnow/la-sp-usc-pac-12-fines-pat-haden-reprimand-sarkisian-20140908-story.html USC's Pat Haden fined $25,000 for 'inappropriate' sideline conduct], ''Los Angeles Times'', September 8, 2014</ref> On October 11, 2015, Haden placed Sarkisian on leave after a series of incidents culminating in the coach missing a practice during the season. The next day, Haden announced that Sarkisian had been fired.<ref>[http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-football/25337035/steve-sarkisian-terminated-as-usc-coach-clay-helton-to-be-interim-coach CBS Sports]</ref>
 
On February 5, 2016, Haden announced that he would be stepping down as USC's athletic director effective June 30.<ref name="cbss_USCa">{{Cite web | title = USC athletic director Pat Haden to retire, effective June 30 | author = Robby Kalland | work = CBSSports.com | date = February 5, 2016 | access-date = February 5, 2016 | url = http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-football/25474569/usc-athletic-director-pat-haden-to-retire-effective-june-30 }}</ref>
 
===College Football Playoff Selection Committee===
Haden was one of 13 members of the inaugural [[College Football Playoff]] selection committee. In September 2014 Haden received criticism and calls to resign from the selection committee by charging onto the field in order to argue with officials regarding a series of penalties during the third quarter of USC's 13–10 victory against Stanford.<ref name="usatoday.com">{{cite web|title=USC AD Pat Haden should resign from the Playoff committee|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2014/09/06/usc-ad-pat-haden-press-box-sideline-argue-call-for-trojans/15210671/ |accessdate=2021-05-01|date=2014-09-06|first1=Dan|last1=Wolken|work=[[USA Today]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/sports/usc/uscnow/la-sp-usc-pat-haden-confront-officials-story.html|title=Pat Haden answers text and confronts officials on sideline during game|accessdate=2021-05-01|date=2014-09-06|first1=Lindsey|last1=Thiry|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]}}</ref>
