How does the first failure disqualify him from the chance of success in a completely different direction? Again, it is silly to make a rigidly narrow argument for human behaviour and performance from the available information.
CliffFletcher is absolutely correct about the ambiguity behind what happened in the head offices between 2010–12. This lack of clarity pretty much precludes ones ability to form sound judgments about Feaster's job performance, since there are a handful of interpretations that are also significantly affected by our biases. I can readily admit that my own ambivalence towards Feaster contributes to the positive spin that I apply to his actions. I will venture to argue further that those who are highly critical of Feaster arrive at their conclusions in no small part based on preconceptions and poorly formed opinions from a dearth of actual information.
Because of this absence of clarity, all we can really do is judge Feaster based on his PRESENT performance: That is, from the point when the team clearly changed direction, how effective has he been? There are plenty of sound reasons to answer this question positively.
