That's the typical answer.

Pete Carroll coaches at USC. With the school's prestige alone, he gets the top recruits in the nation year after year after year.

What has Ferentz done? Let's see:

He's taken a mid-tier Big 10 school with 2 and 3* recruits and competed HEAD TO HEAD with Michigan and Ohio State.

He finished in the Top 10 in the nation THREE YEARS IN ROW, one of only 3 coaches to do that - and he did it all with players nobody else wanted.

He took an unrecruited, skinny QB from South Dakota and turned him into a 1st-round NFL LB. Matt Roth, Dallas Clark, Robert Gallery, Eric Steinbach, Aaron Kampmann, Jared Clauss, Erik Jensen, Sean Considine, and Chad Greenway were all players that CHANGED POSITIONS at Iowa, at Ferentz' request, and are now getting playing time in the NFL.

Well, if you want to go there, why not hire Chris Peterson? He has done a wonderful job at BSU. He has turned that group around since the days of dirk cutter. He has amped up that team with no blue-chip recruits and turned them into a BCS team. If he can turn that bunch into National Contenders, he could turn the Chiefs into a dynasty in 5 years easy.

Does Chris Peterson have any NFL experience? If so, he might be a good choice. But I would point out that coaching in the MWC is a little different than coaching the Big 10 or Big 12.

Ferentz was an NFL offensive line coach. Johnathon Ogden credits him with making him into the player he is today.

I don't think so. It seems that any coach available at the college level has had a bad experience at the Pro level, or has none at all. I also want to talk about rainman's wife.

Or....we could have Rainmans wife talk to us.
Either way........
