How does Klinsmann stack against the rest?

I'll answer this as fairly as possible. He has much less experience than the top 10 guys.
His first job was a success in everyone's eyes. His second job was not successful and lasted about 9 months. After he was fired, the guys who took up after him all did much better.
Since he is already very wealthy and doesn't need to apply for coaching jobs, he only showed interest in a handful of desirable jobs (all of which would pay quite well).
Therefore the US job was one of the only jobs he could feasibly land with his current resume, besides maybe Tottenham, since he isn't interested in 98 percent of the jobs on the market:
Even big name guys like Frank Rijkard, Cesare Prandelli, and Mancini were more flexible with their first post-firing job searches.

It's hard to say in that I seriously doubt he was really a target for any of the 50? or so better jobs for both clubs and prestigious national teams for the past few years.
He managed Germany from 2004-06 and some give him a lot of credit for the revitalization of their youth ranks though the NT did get knocked out of the WC playing at home in the semis. He then managed Bayern Munich but was fired mid-season. That's it as far as managing resume.
For the purposes of the USMNT though I think he was a pretty good hire since his strength seems to be moving and shaking things off the field (youth programs/integration especially) more than being a tactical mastermind or gifted roster manager.
