K-State with Klieman and it's not even close IMO. Klieman took what Bohl built at NDSU and not only maintained it, but built his own legacy to the tune of 3 FCS championships in 4 years (and maybe 4 in 5, depending what happens this year). Plus he's been able to outrecruit several midwestern FBS schools at times, not to mention his NDSU teams regularly beat FBS teams when they dare play his team. The only question is if he can do the same at a midwestern FBS school, because wildly successful coaches at an FCS school doesn't always translate to success at a FBS school. Hell, it doesn't always translate from Go5 to P5.
On the surface Les Miles seems slam dunk for KU, as this was a guy that won a title and coached for another at LSU, but there's an argument that he wildly underperformed at LSU, considering the kind of recruit that naturally goes there - a kind of recurit he likely won't get at KU, even if he works his ass off for it. I don't think KU fan can look at what he did at LSU and get excited that he'll do that at KU, because 1. what he did in his last 5 years at LSU wasn't that impressive, considering the talent, and 2. they're not getting that kind of talent in Lawrence. I think you have to look at what he did at OSU before that, a much more comparable program, and it was okay, the kind of performance that would play well at KU (or even ISU pre-CMC), but considering the T. Boone Pickens $$$ and what Gundy did with that program after he left, was it really that impressive?
