This has been a trying week for USC, and no one’s had to make more decisions during it than Trojans athletic director Pat Haden, who fired Trojans coach Steve Sarkisian on Monday.
USC athletic director Pat Haden collapses on field prior to game at Notre Dame
More trying times for the Trojans.
Unfortunately, it’s now Haden who appears to have a health challenge.
USC athletic director Pat Haden collapsed on the field during pre-game. He is currently getting looked at back in the locker-room area.
— Notre Dame on NBC (@NDonNBC) October 17, 2015 NBC aired pregame footage of Haden on one knee, and struggling to get back to his feet.
The good news: Haden went back to the locker room and appears to be doing better now.
Per USC- Pat Haden took a knee on sideline, felt light headed. Went with medical staff to locker area and is sitting up, appears to be OK.
