Because for next year we want to keep our assistants in place and let them run their systems. We need someone to just be a CEO, game manager, and big time recruiter. I would prefer Mariucci over McDaniels, although both are highly unlikely IMO.
If you want to keep your assistants in place and let them run their systems then just promote one of them.
The absolutely dumbest thing any AD can do is hire a "caretaker" head coach and force feed them the asst's that are already there. That is football suicide.
Go the Ohio State route. Promote an asst. as interim head coach for this year and then hire a "real" coach once the season has ended.
If Arkansas hires a "caretaker" coach (let's just call them Mike Shula) then you will be stuck in mud for 4 years and then be looking for a "real" coach 4 years too late.
And FYI: UGA with #1 overall pick and NFL starter Matthew Stafford/Aaron Murray > 3rd round bench warmer Mallett/Wilson.

The assumption that a "caretaker" from the outside is willing to take a one year deal is an uneducated one. Any guy that comes to Arkansas will demand a 5 year deal and in Gruden's case it may take a 10 year deal.
In the event that a Gruden would come and fail they would be on the hook for the duration of the contract unless he implodes Petrino style.
