Steve Jobs executed the single greatest turnaround in corporate history, at the company he founded, from which he had been fired ten years before. Betting on a similar result (or even something 10-20% as good) is really no different than expecting to draw an inside straight at the poker table. Sure, it can happen, but it's very unlikely.

Best of luck to Mayer and Yahoo, though.
