They rehired McQuaid to do a relaunch around the beginning of 2013, but he was only there a couple months. I'm guessing his ideas were probably out of scope for SOE as they've never given Vanguard the resources it needed out of fear it would be more successful than EQ2. They pretty much bought it out just so they wouldn't have to worry about a real studio making it into the best mmo ever.
Right now McQuaid is putting a team together for a new MMO tho. Only thing on the distant horizon that is currently peaking my interest.
