I don't think you're wrong. Your spot on. They should have done what anyone else making a major hire does... engage a search firm to find the best candidates, interview several of them and make a hire with incentives a big part of the package. It seems ludicrous that the only two candidates came from inside sources and that there is not an hour of collective bargaining experience between them. Damn shame.
