I believe Eric Schmidt is stepping down because he believes doing so is what is best for Google. And I believe his reason has little to do with whether or not he thinks that he is the right person for the job or that Larry Page is the better candidate.

I think Eric believes that it is time for Google to get a real CEO because he has been the CEO in name only.

C is for Chief and Eric was never the chief since he was not the person who gets to make the final decision.

E is for Executive and Eric never spends much time executing because he was too busy herding cats.

O is for Officer and Eric was not able to look out for the interest of all the shareholders, just the two largest ones.

Good luck, Larry.
