Yahoo's next CEO shouldn't be...

Published: Saturday, November 22, 2008

BY THE SHOGUN
With Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang stepping down to make room for a new guy or gal, everyone has since put together their list of possible replacements. Well the hell with that. We came up with a few people who should not even be considered for the job of the real Chief Yahoo. We all know Yahoo President Sue Decker could very well become the new CEO by default, but from what We've been hearing, many are hoping this isn't the case. Some have said that, all the new CEO needs to do is push a sale to Microsoft and then walk away with a sweet package and go sit on an island somewhere for about a month. This may very well be the new CEO's only quick fix option because we doubt the board and shareholders have the patience for some superman or woman who comes in acting like they want to turn things around which could take years. Whoever it is, within a year of them taking office, Yahoo will probably be sold and/or merged, conceding to the mighty Google. Here are the names of the individuals who shouldn't get the job, and our reasons why.

1. Frank Biondi- Who are we kidding? Biondi is an old media guy who ran Viacom years ago before anyone knew what the hell social networking was.

2. Sue Decker- She is the default gal and should be the last resort pick. Also, she is part of the past. She is kinda hot though

3. Peter Chernin- After being Rupert Murdoch's number for so many years with no sign of ever becoming number one, we can all understand why Pete would want to jump ship to captain his own. But seriously, I think this would be a down grade for Pete. We say hold out a little longer because something is brewing in the house of Redstone.

4. Meg Whitman- Someone through Meg's name in the mix and I am still shocked that they did. Meg Whitman is all Interneted out right now. As Ebay CEO she appealed to stay at home moms and dads in middle America. On top of that, Meg strikes me as the kind who who would want to come in and try to turn things around, which would probably piss off Microsoft ruler Steve Ballmer again when he decides to stop acting like he doesn't want Yahoo and makes another offer. Then again when John McCain calls you one of the wisest people he knows, Meg probably feels like she can fix anything at this point.
