If you want to compare Clark Hunt to something, I'd compare him to JCPenney. They fired their CEO last week after he burned through a lot of cash transitioning their entire business model. They brought the old CEO back in and he decided to abort the change and go back to the old model, which will cost just as much money while going back to a business plan that caused his ass to get fired in the first place.
That's essentially what Hunt did. He had a chance to rebuild the team from the ground up, keeping essential pieces and changing the direction and structure of the franchise only to panic halfway through and go back to the same course that led to so much failure and stagnation in the first place.

It's interesting that you reference JC Penney. I love business and finance, and I was looking at gift cards on e-bay the other day. I tried to convince one of my co-workers that you can easily tell how well a business is doing by the price margin between gift card values and sales on ebay. For instance Starbucks... cards are selling for cash at about .75 to the dollar (IMOP they over expanded and the market is saturated) JC Penney's cards are liquidating for about .75 on the dollar (JC Penney..now this is a bit different They are a terrible company with terrible marketing and have a hard time finding a niche in the market imop) Then you have Dilliard's ( a good company w/ good products and a defined niche IMOP) their cards are liquidating for about .85-.90 a dollar. My coworkers were looking at me like I'm from Mars, but I think that's a legit conclusion. Am I wrong?
