Mark my words 5fer will be fired!

Just curious: why do you want him fired?

Have you ever heard of the phrase:

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

or

Know thyself, know thine enemy (Sun Tzu)

If 5fer is doing a bad job at CPQ, wouldn't it be more of an advantage for its competitors to keep him there, where everyone can keep tabs on him and take advantage of his weaknesses, instead of having him replaced by perhaps a more capable CEO?

I believe that's what the Bush Administration did with Saddam. Keep him weak, but keep him in place, because the vacuum that would be created may be filled by a potentially greater threat that is not easily assessed.
