Of all the times companies hire from outside the company, this would have been an appropriate one. Instead, let's go with someone who comfortably knows the system and won't rock the boat. Heck, if an outsider were hired with a "it's time to make some changes" message, at least PR could have something to spin.
Interesting name.
