After Kent Baer and Andy Larussa left last year to coach at UNLV, many Buff fans wondered how HCMM would fill those positions. He wasn't happy with the defense, and he wanted a change in attitude. Well, any worries were put to rest when the names were announced. After some deft twitter stalking by the fan base showed some new connections to Joe Tumpkin, many were worried that the former Central Michigan defensive coordinator would jump straight to be being the Buffs' man in charge. Then pretty much everybody cheered when he was announced... as safeties coach. Could it be that the Buffs are acting like they belong with the big boys again, plucking young and dynamic coaches and putting them in a position to succeed?
