A guy from SI (where FB Scoop got there info from) tweeted it out as well. He's hired to be our DB coach.
If he has stuff, we should have sent the Buffulance.
My assumption is that the DC either does not have a specific position background or has an even stronger LB history.
I am thinking HCMM wants Tumpkin on staff for energy and maybe recruiting (not sure here), and because his background is DB's can coach up any problem areas with Tumpkin.
Unless the SI guy made a mistake and typed DB instead of LB.

Like LaRussa, I assume Tumpkin would be able to coach DBs and/or LBs. Keep in mind, Clark or another coach may not be retained per his discussions with Ringo.
Additionally, Tumpkin is an experienced defensive coach that is in his mid-40s. Lumpkin is a term for Urbandictionary and I apologize for using it since that is the word I think of when I hear one of our new coaches last names. Damn it, why can't he be an Anderson or something?!

Then for sure, either the DC is a superior LB coach, or has no specific position background.
Since I'm assuming that you are one of the priveleged that would know (and if you are not, then guys like 'Tini that "know" should have rectified this by now), it must not be Ball.
He was in a good football part of Texas to boot
Wouldn't make sense to pull in tumpkin for DB coach and ball as DC/LB. In that scenario it would be Tumpkin as LB and Ball as DC/DB
And there we go! I trust SD more than SI.
Will rep when I get to my computer (which buys me time to confirm that you are right).

Funny, I thought you meant blumpkin. Which turns out, has the exact same meaning, [emoji23].

Joe Tumpkin was given a Lumpkin, aka a blumpkin, while eating a piece of his favorite pie, pumpkin.

At first, Tumpkin as DB coach sound curious, but I like the idea of a guy with solid DC experience on the D as a position coach. Plus, Mac coached DBs last year, so the guy will have a lot of support in that role.
I think it's Seto. He meets all the criteria laid out in the sound bites, has extensive experience coaching LBs, and his hiring would fit with the timing. Just seems too good to be true.

Unpossible. Mizzou is in the SEC east. The Mississippi schools are in the west. Science.
I don't think the same rules apply from NFL to NCAA. I don't think an NFL team can block a guy from interviewing for a college job. I could be wrong, though.

Right. My point was that Gibbs is still respected as a DC in the NFL. Seto might be a better fit? I'm ok with either.
Just to complete this thought, the way I'm reading it they later clarified they are NOT indicating they think it's a bad hire. Just that it was an opportunistic hire, which goes against MM having a "grand plan", although that would just apply for the DB coach hire.

Gotcha. Yeah, I'd be good with either but would be pumped for Seto. I want a Seahawk's type of mentality to be brought to this defense, along with their tackling fundamentals being taught.

What FBScoop isn't factoring in is Tumpkin probably was gone unless they immediately hired him as HC, so my guess is MM had already discussed this opportunity and was just waiting until after signing day to announce out of respect for the coachless CMU program.
