A CEO who is really a CFO is probably not what Intel needs right now. It's clear that their engineering culture is compromised, and i would hope that Intel would go back to their roots.
I don't know the specifics of this case but I know a lot of coaches refuse to be the person in charge of "rebuilding" because they know they will get 80% there just in time to get fired & watch someone else get all the credit.
Worked really well for Microsoft. /s
