Given that Huggins' most recent statement reads like a K-State infomercial I'd think our chances are probably pretty good.

"I want to work with people who care. I'd just like to work with people who are honest, who care about kids ... who are going to work as hard as myself and my staff at trying to make guys as successful as they possibly can be. That's what it is," Huggins replied when asked what he was seeking from a new job. "I'm the son of a coach. That's why I wanted to coach. It's never been about being on TV or being famous or making a lot of money. I just like to coach.
"When you get into this, you want to coach at the highest level, because you want to be challenged. You want to be able to match wits with the guys that are the best. That's what motivates me."

I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to match those up against Huggins' comments.
