LenDale White goes off on Pat Haden after being kicked out of locker room (Video)
LenDale White returned to the Coliseum on Saturday to watch his alma mater destroy Colorado, but he was not as welcomed as he hoped, and he ended up going on a cursing fit on Twitter as a result.
White, who played running back for USC from 2003-2005 and is the school’s career leader in rushing touchdowns, was all stoked about returning to LA to watch his team play. He started off the day excited, as evidenced by this tweet:
Can't wait to see my fav coach @CoachSark @ #thecoli today!! Great day to b a #TROJAN #beleedat #FIGHTON # is for victory

He also took quite a few pictures:
But things went sideways after the game.
According Max Meyer, who covers USC Football for Neon Tommy, White was escorted out of the Trojans’ locker room by police. Meyer believes White’s exit from the locker room was related to his rant last week when he called for USC to fire defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox while the team nearly blew a lead against Arizona (the Trojans won 28-26).
So apparently former #USC RB Lendale White tried to go to the locker room after the game, but was escorted out by police. He's angry now.

I'd think #USC didn't allow Lendale White in the locker room after his "Fire Justin Wilcox" Twitter rant last week. Now wants Haden fired.

LenDale later confirmed over Twitter that he was kicked out of the locker room by Haden.
I can't believe @ADHadenUSC kicked me out of #thecoli shook my hand then had me escorted out. I'm still at a loss for words!!!

How did LenDale respond? He sent a tweet to USC athletic director Pat Haden, calling him a coward.
Below are the tweets sent by White during last week’s game against Arizona that probably got him on USC’s bad side (edited for profanity):
Fire all of them

This is on coaching and coaching only. We are horrible

LenDale has become a loose cannon on Twitter who clearly cannot control his emotions. He’s very much like Marcus Vick in that regard. I’m not sure how he can call for all the coaches to be fired one week and then ask for VIP treatment inside the coaches’ locker room the following week. He’s nuts.
