"I've known Pat Haden for a long time and my congratulations go out to him. I know he'll do a wonderful job as our athletic director. He's been such a vital part of the USC fabric for so long, he'll be able to contribute immensely to our athletic department. I know the entire Trojan Family will readily welcome him.
"I've already met with Pat and J.K. McKay and they are excited about our program and the upcoming season. I'm looking forward to working with them and embracing all the things they have to offer.
"I also want to thank Mike Garrett for the opportunity he presented to us. We will work extremely hard to carry on his vision for USC football. He had an incredible run as our athletic director and Trojan fans should applaud his passion, dedication and accomplishments. When I spoke with Mike today, he said that although he won't be here, he'll be following us closely because USC is so dear to him."
