Fired PItt Coach Haywood Enters Diversion Program
February 14, 2011 /
The 46-year-old Haywood was charged with a Dec. 31 attack on his son’s 38-year-old mother at Haywood’s home in Clay Township, Ind. Haywood was coach at Miami of Ohio and an ex-offensive coordinator at Notre Dame when Pitt hired him.
He appeared in court Friday in South Bend and admitted grabbing her.
St. Joseph County prosecutor Michael Dvorak says the victim wanted the diversion.
The deal requires Haywood to have a psychological evaluation and perform 60 hours of community service. Judge Jane Woodward Miller says the charge will be dismissed in a year if Haywood honors the deal.
