>Apple agreed to acquire NeXT and its technology in order to bring back Jobs
Not really to "bring back Jobs". Jobs was not considered any kind of wonder CEO or miracle worker at the time. They wanted a new OS, as their own traditional Mac OS successor attempt had failed.
They also looked and negotiated with Be (for BeOS), so it wasn't that they wanted Jobs particularly.
It would just be a nice "back to roots" publicity side benefit, but nobody considered Jobs especially their potential saviour at the time...
