Eric Schmidt. As Silicon Alley Insider reported he is getting bored at google. He can come to Yahoo and then finish it off completely (whatever Jerry has left) and see the value of his GOOG shares / option move up. He need not even take the $1 salary

It’s gotta be David Filo. He’s the only one capable of finishing Jerry’s good work.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Rajiv Dutta didn’t get a strong look. When he wasn’t given the top job at eBay despite many internally finding him the most qualified, he eventually ‘retired’ from eBay and recently became Distinguished Executive-in-Residence at the Drucker School. He has CFO and business unit leadership at eBay and is widely respected. Should be on the short list at least.
