Can you imagine a physics department where the chair is on administrative leave?

Easily, with an interim acting chair. Upheaval under all contingencies is minimized with this solution.

Half the job of the chair is to manage the human side of the department's priorities, including resolving disputes between faculty. You need moral authority, which a grad doesn't have.

The scale is about the same, and as someone else mentioned near here, the deputy chair would take over.
