I would say the first half is correct.. Ted absolutely is the one who hired Rhule. That wasn't Trev's doing. Trev would have hired Mickey, but Trev is going to do what his boss says.
The second half, I don't agree with. Ted Carter, while a distinguished career, is like any other administrator. It's a shame that in order to get ahead in this country, you have to be an excellent liar. Note: Trev also fits in this category, but at least Trev knows what it takes to improve the football program. Ted Carter, not so much.
When Rhule bolts for another job, I hope Trev gets another chance to do it his way.
The upper tier power struggles have always ended up hurting Nebraska Football, but those at the top can't help but grift off the program, putting themselves before the common goal.
