It's a pipe dream for uk. GP is not going to have any interest in uk. If he's so EMAW that he wanted to leave tcu for KSU, he's certainly not going to be pro uk. If it's about money and opportunity, he will have a house full of quality suitors that do not have the warts inherent with the job in Lawrence.
I don't think they are going to be able to get the best coach available for uk with Perkins running the show. Many in the coaching fraternity see him compensating for poor performance with a personal attack. The results which could lead to the loss of further employment opportunities. You or I wouldn't want to work for that kind of tyrant and quality coaches (that are accustomed to working from a position of advantage) are going to dismiss the job out of hand.
