As I understand it, the guy did the best he could under the restrictions imposed on him by Boeing and Lockmart (no R&D budget, expensive fully disposable new rocket, etc)

I hope he's found a good alternative. I've always really admired his vibe
Yeah, same. He really seems like a genuine space fan
It's tough with how much they were hamstrung, but without the Amazon contract, ULA would seriously be circling the drain and this would be a very different retrospective.
The Vulcan ramp up seems very open to criticism, from the engine choice to SRB issues and the Atlas V shared infrastructure bottleneck.
Update: he's headed to Blue Origin
