Balmer became the CEO right at the peak of the tech bubble. He couldn't (nobody could) possibly have maintained that sort of valuation. It was all hype and irrational exuberance.

It really wasn't the loss post-bubble that was Ballmer's issue, it was that the stock price was stagnant.

Balmer's reign also coincides almost perfectly with the anti-trust actions taken against Microsoft. He was given the worst Microsoft to do anything with.
