Day 1, you check backups, reconfigure them if you have to. Once that's done, you're allowed to look at other things.

With the kind of money they had, he should have instead written up a proposal asking for either a big increase in budget, or a consulting team to come in and fix that mess. Nobody likes it when the new guy comes in and says "we can't do X task with Y resources, give me more resources. But if you can reason your argument, and pull it off, you look like the guy who just removed a hidden minefield.

This guy went "minefields? What are those? Boom. Boom. Boom. Not my fault!"
