“ all of the responsibility with none of the authority“ or something very close to that was his somewhat famous assessment of the position.
I don’t see where he was wrong. Rondo held the position in a different era. I actually think he might thrive today.
As it won’t be him, I’m hoping it’s someone with a similar skill set, namely, demonstrated business and organizational leadership with an appreciation for the good that an effective BYU athletic department can accomplish.
