He is now.
The rationale for promoting Tumpkin would be continuity with what is working. Along with a belief that he has earned it by the coaching job he has done, including being the main x's & o's guy.

I just want to throw my hat in the mix. I attended CU and watched from the bleachers as Fairbanks decimated our program. Coached 9-10 year old little league teams 1993-1995 with an overall record of 16-8 with 2 appearances in the Skate City/Dots' Laundromat Bowl. I pioneered the use of the cover 2, two gap 3-4 defense in the central columbia county rec league holding opponents to an average of less than 100 ypg total offense. I received a trophy from one of my teams for "Coach of the Century" and had many parents comment on how much fun their kids were having. Overall I think I have the right combination of experience, training, and drive to improve on what Leavitt started.
I expect Leavitt to get job offers after this season. He'll get immediate improvement at Oregon. Basic competence would have done better than the results on defense they had this season and next year they are in better shape from a personnel standpoint. Should be enough to vault him into a P5 HC opportunity.
This ain't intramurals brotha!

Everyone keeps talking about who HCMM is going to pick.....isn't RG in this decision making process? In many ways, I trust his judgement more than MM, but no one, here at least, is talking about RG input. If RG is worth his salt, he always has a running network of who he goes after. Every successful program in the nation has coaches poached all the time, how they handle it and keep the success going isn't something that CU has to pioneer how it is done.
It is HCMM's job to select the coordinator. It is RG's job to pay him.
Of course Lance Carl and Rick George will offer their advice and their input on the search, but this is MacIntyre's responsibility.
I posted on this. So many posts it could have easily gotten lost. In short, HCMM, with Lance Carl and Rick George, has to make great decisions on the 2017 defensive staff. We are trying to replace an elite coordinator, so we can't afford to slip too far there. And we have to use this as an opportunity to get better recruiters onto the defensive staff. Could be an extra opportunity there if the NCAA confirms the vote to increase assistant staffs from 9 to 10 this year.
Speaking of idots will bonnie is harassing football players again... someone needs to smack the **** and disappear the ****er
I'm just kind of scratching my head on the Taggart hire. I mean, maybe this will turn out great for Oregon, but Taggart, coming from South Florida, seems like an odd fit. Hell. I don't know.
Rumor has it he can barely walk anymore.
WTF?
All three of those guys will work together. I wonder how long they've known about this? I'd imagine they didn't have much more notice than us fans got. I don't think there is a lot of urgency, at this point, to fill the position. There are still a lot of domino's out there with the NFL and bowl seasons still in progress.
That doesn't stop me!
Ah, thanks. Didn't make that connection. Well, we shall see.
JL working for the former USF coach...#irony
#alaniswouldagree
Still, does Taggart have anyone on staff currently with ties to the west coast or even Texas? Seems to be going all in on Florida and Georgia.
Lol...except this is actually ironic

It's called a coincidence.

Ty Gregorak-DC at Montana State and he was the DC at Montana before that (former linebacker here). Under Gregorak’s direction, MSU allowed 84 yards and 9.2 points per game fewer in 2016 than the team did in 2015... the Bobcat rush defense improved by 102 yards a game, pass defense efficiency by 26.3 points, interceptions by seven, opponent third down conversion rate by 6 percentage points.... MSU’s defense finished in top three of Big Sky rankings in five categories (scoring, yards allowed, rush yards allowed, pass defense efficiency, and opponent third down conversion rate).
Montana – Gregorak’s defenses (coordinator 2012-15, linebackers coach 2003-09 and 2011-15) led the Big Sky in total defense three times (2006, ’07 and ’11), rush defense four times (2003, ’06, 11 and ’12), pass defense twice (2006, ’08), and scoring defense seven times (2005-09, ’11, ’14)... UM won or shared eight Big Sky titles during Gregorak’s 12 seasons, advancing to the FCS Playoffs 11 times, the semifinals five times, and the championship game three times... UM led the Big Sky in red zone defense in 2013-14-15... Montana won 123 games in 12 seasons with Gregorak on staff.
Washington – Coached in 2001 Holiday Bowl, 2002 Sun Bowl

Can we stop with the let's only look in-house or at other people who have ties here mindset?

Apparently money is the only thing he really cares about, so . . .
If RG is too involved in the process, we will go cheap. Love the guy, but his checkbook has a steel trap on it.
