what I am saying is a guy like ferry has skins in the wall that others like zarren do not.

What Fun Bunch is saying is that he doesn't trust this organization to do the right thing over the easy thing. Hiring Ferry doesn't actually signal change unless with announcing him as POBO they also make other announcements of strong moves to upgrade the organization's infrastructure. For instance when Demps was hired there were several high profile executive hires like Connely and Madkins.

If we see Ferry POBO + Langdon GM + a highly regarded person to head an expanded analytics department and some announcement about upgrades and investments in Medical Science, then a Ferry hire might be worth getting excited over. But just saying "after an extensive search we're hiring Danny Ferry as our POBO/GM" would be disappointing. It still might be an upgrade over Demps, but isn't as far as they need to go.
