I don't think he's qualified to get a HC job anywhere else but I would be very hesitant about hiring someone else when in fact he is that lifer that KU has been looking for.

Bowen doesn't strike me as a guy who would get pissed and leave. I base that on almost nothing, admittedly, but the way he handled the play calling situation gives me the impression that he's all about what's best for the team and unconcerned by politics. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing in the long run remains to be seen, but it's certainly an admirable trait. It kind of sucks that politics are almost as important as coaching anymore, but that's big money athletics.
