Is there a reason (other than stupidity) that either of the coaches in Kansas are apparently getting no consideration? Either Klieman or Leipold would be a massive coaching upgrade.

There are certain guys who are great at backwater schools recruiting lower-level guys and developing them into the system. Often, these guys don't translate to bigger jobs.

One of the big issues is that you'll need a revamp time to build that system with new players and in big boy football you just don't get that. Recruiting is another issue. Those types of coaches have a COMPLETELY different recruiting strategy (and usually regions of experience) than what you need to get top-5 classes.

Stoops is actually on the edge of this type of coach, but he's done it in the SEC.
