Even though Vince technically does have the ability to re-appoint himself as chairman since he's the majority shareholder, the majority shareholder has a fiduciary responsibility to the minority shareholders to act in "good faith and inherent fairness".
In other words, if he comes back and the stock promptly tanks amid the controversy, he's opening himself up to lawsuits from the minority shareholders. Majority shareholders can and have been successfully litigated by the minority when it was decided the majority didn't act in the best interest of the entire shareholding.
Can't really imagine anybody close to Vince actually telling him it would be a good idea to return.
