Pat Haden

[OburgOrange]

He is a member of the selection committee. After his antics today, should he still be on this committee?

No plus he and usc commited a violation by him saying sark texted him and that's a violation of playing rules according to brett mcmurphy

Having current ADs on the committee was stupid to begin with.

Correct, but as we found out, the NCAA, in their infinite wisdom, has not penalty for this action. :bat:

 

[SmilinBob]

The "Committee" makes the Warren Commission look legit. Way too many personal agendas and that is what I hate about college football.

 

[retro44]

why is it that is always the same schools who commit the violations all the time with little to no punishment....nothing will happen,but Haden now gets two votes for being open about it

 

[SmilinBob]

Another reason why some of these clowns should not be involved in the playoff process:

VT 35 @ OSU 21

OSU #18 VT #19 Seriously?

I'm trying to picture Jake C marching down from his suite in the Dome to argue with the refs.

Now that Haden did it, I can totally see Gross doing it.

I couldn't agree more with this, AD's should not be a part of this committee and I don't think they should be a part of the basketball committee either. Even if they do leave the room during their teams discussion their is still a tie and perceived advantage that carries with it. They are constantly in other committee members ears. Its an unfair advantage.

He is a member of the selection committee. After his antics today, should he still be on this committee?

With that said, I don't think he should be kicked of the committee for this transgression. I just don't see how the two are related and I personally don't really see much of an issue with it.

Everyone has their biases. I liked seeing Haden get fired up and would enjoy seeing Gross do the same. On a scale of 1-10 for embarrassments an AD can bring to a university this is a 0. He's not allowed to discuss USC during the process so this should have no impact on his position.

Jake never had his own box at the Dome. ;-)

But I was told he had his own ashtray..

Agreed. Much ado about nothing. Fined, reprimanded, move on. Whoever said Sarkisian directly texted Haden is wrong, btw.

I loved Jake when he was on the X Files.

 

[Opus]

All I know about Pat Haden is he should have won at least one Super bowl with the LA Rams in the 70's.

True, that.

Yes, Pat Hayden is one of the great football minds in the college game, he made a mistake, but kicking him off the committee would be classic cutting off your nose to spite your face.
