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.

Fairly sure it isn't Gruden. I've been wrong before, but you don't hear Gruden's name associated with this job from anyone who is serious or has connections in coaching.
I said last week that the word was an NFL hire was possible. Not sure it will be one of these two, but it certainly could be. My understanding is that a current NFL OC reached out to Arky and there is mutual interest (perhaps has Arky connections, but I haven't heard back on who).

Any coach that's worth anything is also going to demand that they have their own staff. Any coach that takes a job that requires him to retain the current staff is Weak and will implode in due time.
You need a strong leader that demands that things are run his way. I can't imagine for one second a good coach like Saban letting anyone tell him who's going to be on his staff.
