How do you know that he would want total control of personnel?

I think he just has an easy gig now where he gets paid plenty of money to do a lot less work. Can't blame him for not wanting to give that up.

As far as why the Gruden admiration? Probably just because he's a larger than life character. He's over the top, has the whole "chucky" thing, etc.

I think Toub is the guy Ballard really wanted to bring in the first place and that
is probably where this is going, unless Irsay can reel in harbaugh.

He won one Sb and had no other playoff wins in the other 7 seasons he coached.

Not really what I want from this team

I don't know that Gruden would want total personnel control...but if memory serves me right, he fought for that control while in Tampa Bay.
