It was classic “seagull manager” shit that the private sector looooooves to pull (usually combined with a consultant company and/or very short-term executive position), but on the federal government level.

Comes in, shits all over everything, typically skips off to do something else at another institution within a few short years, sometimes just a few months. Pays no consequences whatsoever for his stupid shit, is praised by the “right people” for being a financial/operational/executive genius or whatever; hated almost universally by everyone else.
