Let's be clear and put it in Music City terms: The band never came close to breaking up.
On Nov. 16, 2010, Joey Jacobs and the rest of the executive team that had run Psychiatric Solutions until the day before were in Chicago to meet with investors about their next venture.

The deal paid $41 million to Jacobs and another $36 million and change to COO Ron Fincher and executive vice president Brent Turner, Chris Howard and Jack Polson.
