that Skousen had a career that was limited to academia. My perception was that the capable mover and shaker had to get permission from the less competent yes man for everything he did. Skousen was also the guy who made the comment that caused the lingering resentment from Norm Chow. I think in the end Rhondo got tired of not having enough actual clout, and of being second guessed. He was also a former BYU wrestler who was deeply resentful that BYU dropped wrestling while on his watch.

If I remember correctly TH asked that the chain of command be modified as part of taking the AD job.
