First, I think Haden was exposed as a poor AD when he came on the field to argue with the officials. That said, I'm curious what most people would do if they were in his position.
Personally, I would suspend the coach for the season so he can take care of his problems. In my opinion it's the ONLY way Haden creates an acceptable culture for his staff, players, and fans. By suspending Steve Sarkisian it validates that people and character are more important than a game. I believe this situation could well endanger Haden's job.
I know wins are the most important thing, but the long term reputation and culture of the program are more important than a single season. And what message is he sending the team?
