I see Tillerson as more of a power behind the throne. Very much a kingmaker. If Trump is, somehow, persuaded to resign (which I don't think will happen), Tillerson is the Al Haig of the transition, and will emerge as Pence's indispensable man.

An Al Haig analogy might be effective for a Chief of Staff; his time at State, however, isn't looked back on as particularly good or effective.

Al Haig ran the entire government during the latter days of Nixon. His real role went far, far beyond his title.

Tillerson is a weak secretary of state and I doubt he's even still in his job at the end of Trump's term.

The former CEO of Exxon-Mobil is never "weak".
