Plausibility of A New Dynasty

The Byzantine Empire had multiple families ruling it during various periods in history and this is true for almost all countries so I ask this, what's the possibility of the Ottomans being overthrown and another Islamic dynasty takes control of the Turkish lands?
 
While i do rather like the ottomans (they were an interesting people with many peculiarities but also slightly ahead of their time), the Ottomans had entered power in the wake of the rest of muslimdom having to deal with Tamerlane and Genghis Running around burning the great centers of Muslim learning. If, perhaps, genghis and/or Tamerlane had taken and kept a presence in Turkey, it might be feasible, but I don't see much future in a less militarily-sophisticated nation replacing the Ottomans...Then again, my knowledge of the surrounding nations in the 1300's is rather dim, so I certainly may be wrong.
 
There was an agreement with the Giray khans of the Crimea to succeed in the event of the Osmanli dynasty dying out at the beginning of the 19th century

I mean a dynasty, not a new nation conquering them. And not the Giray/
 
Well, depends on when you set it -- in the earlier centuries, when a new sultan had his brothers strangled, I could see it happening; in the declining years, when those same brothers were simply raised "in pleasure", this is going to be more complicated.

I thought this agreement was even older (at leas I remember reading it in a text about the 17th century Ottoman Empire).
