The founders thought they were too young and brought in an experienced outsider; Terry Semel, a longtime Warner Bros. executive, was supposed to bring business sense and experience to the company. Turns out he didn't 'get' the internet and basically ruined Yahoo by making ALL the wrong mistakes. Including NOT buying Google when he had a chance. My point: bringing in good people sounds easier that it is and I agree that Schmidt did great things for Google. @Ale you have a point but that is what Yahoo did.

He's accepted a big challange entering a new-born society like Google when they didn't have revenue and a precise business model. Even though I'm not a google fan, I must admit that they're doing a great job and I feel like the big merit is Schmidt's. I think it's the same situation that's going on in Facebook. It could be the next big thing but Zuckerberg is too young and it's better that they hire an experienced CEO like Brin and Page did back in 2001.
