Because he's openly stated that the only men's jobs he would take are UNC and Duke...he said that less than two weeks ago. He has a great gig at UCONN, they've won 70-something straight, makes good money, etc. If I said let's offer Bill Self, Coach K and Roy Williams you would laugh at me, but they have the same percentage of accepting an OU offer as Geno.
He has and will have zero, I repeat ZERO, interest in a mid-level Big XII job (which is what OU is as of 4/9/10). For an east coast guy who is not familiar with our program, that's what OU is to him. Castiglione has already tried once and Geno straight up said "not interested." Joe C. isn't going to fork over a Stoops comparable salary during a recession for a bball coach, sorry, that's just not economically feasible.
Your post is was funny because it couldn't be further from reality and it doesn't make financial sense. OU can get a solid coach in the $800K-1.5M range, no sense on dropping double that.
He's be more likely to take the OU womens job over OU mens right now....
