Unless your husband has a valid leave he cannot switch into UK immigration law from within the UK. He can, however, submit an FLR(FP) application.

My husband lived in Spain while I was studying in the UK. Even though I spent 180 cumulative days in Spain per year, we didn't take the EEA route as we would fail the centre of life test (he owns a house in the UK, was paid into his UK bank account etc). I applied for FLR instead because I had a valid leave. It was refused due to a problem regarding his job offer, but the HO stated on the refusal that we were able to send an FLR(M) within 14 days. What they didn't tell me was that I would fall for refusal. So, I ended up sending an FLR(FP) application.
