Hadden was born in 1874 and raised in the Englewood section of Chicago.[2] He graduated from the University of Michigan Law Department with an LLB degree in 1895. While attending law school, Hadden played tackle for the 1894 Michigan Wolverines football team. Following a tour with the Chicago Athletic Club, he transferred to Notre Dame, where he not only coached the football team in 1895, but also inserted himself into the lineup during a loss to Indianapolis Artillery.[3] He served as the head coach at the University of Notre Dame in 1895, tallying a mark of 3–1.
