Former Titans running back LenDale White says his alma mater, USC, threw him out of the Coliseum on Saturday for expressing a negative opinion about the coaching staff.
White took to Twitter and said that USC Athletic Director Pat Haden, who played at USC in the 1970s and was a Pro Bowl quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams, kicked him out of the stadium. The Los Angeles Times published a video that shows police or security personnel walking alongside White and appearing to be escorting him out, though not physically touching him.

“I can’t believe this,” White continued. “For the first time in my life I’m truly embarrassed to be a Trojan. I’ve done way too much to be treated like that.”
White says Haden wanted him out because White said he wants USC to fire coach Steve Sarkisian. Haden denied that he kicked White out of the building.
After sharing a backfield with Reggie Bush at USC, White was a second-round pick of the Titans in 2006. He lasted four seasons in the league and carried 628 times for 2,349 yards and 24 touchdowns.
