Say what you will about some of his business dealings; he still knows the business very well and has a lot of contacts to draw from. I can see him starting another O&G company, or like Tom Ward, taking over another one and building it up. Maybe 5-10 years down the road, OKC may have another big O&G player building a big campus here.
This was my initial thought as well. The most important thing is obviously CHK staying afloat...but I certainly expect to see Aubrey start something new very very quickly.
