Lynn Swann, new USC AD.
- Thread starter Obliviax
- Start date
Not as big an a$$hat as Pat H -- in that sense at least, it's an upgrade.
W/ his background, it is a curious hire. He'llbe missed in Western Pa, tho. Like many of the 70's Steelers, he's continued to do good things for the region
Graduate of the college? Maybe Franco will be our AD after the testicles are ripped off our Old Guard BOT and sun-dried.
Depends on what his involvement would be. If he's there to raise money and glad-hand alums, then his fame is more important. Kinda like when Joe took the PSU job. Hire a good administrative assistant, and you're good to go.

Congratulations to Lynn; I voted for him for PA Governor when ran against Rendell for his second term.
As for experience, he has plenty of business sense and he certainly knows football. He would have made a good Governor.

Every A.D.'s job at USC, is to win in football: Everything else is irrelevant, and they don't even play half the sports other schools play.
Experience? Based on one of our recent AD hires, apparently none.
USC has gone from Mike Garrett to Pat Haden to Swann. Apparently they value a graduate and star athlete in that role. Hope he has great success as IMO a strong SC program is very good for college football.
They probably intended to stick with the model all along. Probably became more essential with the NFL moving into town.
Miles, USC has 20 sports and PSU has 29. USC has much more than half as many sports as other schools. USC is also near the very top in NCAA championships (and only a fraction of them are in football), well ahead of PSU.
Do you even do the slightest bit of research before posting??
According to a recent PSU Alumni news release, however, PSU has the most NCAA championships since 2007.
Do you even read what you're typing?
"they (USC) don't even play half the sports other schools play."
So unless a lot of P5 schools compete in more than 40 sports you were greatly exaggerating for whatever reason.
You were wrong, just like you're wrong most of the time.
Clearly has connections... Also note he ( along with Condi Rice ) relatively new members of Augusta National.,. Of course home of the Masters... And unlike Jasna Polana... A truly a private and exclusive club...
As an SC Alum, I like this hire a lot. Lynn's background in politics will be extremely helpful. Frankly, its my other alma mater's last 2 AD hires that I question. Who would you take....Joyner, Barbour or Lynn Swann?
No worries. I think he's eligible for parole next year. My guess is they'll kick him loose.
The same experience for this below in which you would have voted for him if you could have being a republican and all.
