She was the interim CEO; it seems that it was her and some of the rest of the executive team, not the board, that wanted Sam to come back. The board apparently was working on finding a new interim CEO to replace Mira that wasn't in Sam's camp more than it was trying to bring Sam back.

Thanks. So it seems like there were not even any individual flip-flops from the board (until Ilya Sutskever's more recent comments), so they were pretty "steadfast" after all.
