I think Stoops would be a decent fit. It's not all that sexy, but he's had solid head coaching experience in a major conference, he has had some success, and he has Midwest ties. It seems to me he has had his "on the job" experience at Arizona and will be ready to bring it full speed here. It certainly beats the hire that Auburn just made!
It certainly doesn't beat it by much and if by not being sexy you mean the equivalent of comparing Lane Kiffen's wife to Mark Mangino dressed up as a woman then you would be correct.
