How does Klinsmann stack against the rest?
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.

I think 50 is a bit steep. He probably could have gotten most Bundesliga jobs outside of Bayern Munich, Dortmund, and maybe 2-3 others.
For the US job, the only bigger name than Klinsmann I saw was Bielsa, who is arguably the most intelligent man in coaching. I don't know how good of a fit he'd be for us though. I'm bit counting Pep as a serious candidate based on a couple of non-sequiturs.
